Often CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau) have people who can help and they are worth trying.

Is this an appeal against a decision? I do get the impression that they are often successful. However - all the very very best.

I have used a web forum for ESA / DLA advice. They are much more approachable than Benefits and Work AND they are FREE! Excellent for 'real world' advice. Informal and supportive. Very helpful people.

I doubt you will need it but if you don't know where to start get hold of one of the Admin people. There is a lady called 'annana' who is incredibly helpful.

I contacted my local council (benefits dept) they are usually very busy, but I persuaded a person to accompany me, through my social worker & I was succesful.....hope this helps.
