Unfortunately yes they can, but you can put in a good case and appeal against the decision

I think is wrong how this can be done its just a stress and rigmarole i could do with out

Go see a welfare rights officer at your local citizens advice they have helped me big time. I retired last oct at age 61 with fibro, osteo and calcium crystal disease that had not been diagnosed and put down to fibro.. have you got a good physio on your side? mine does acupuncture, takes me in a hydrotherapy pool and I feel really good for days after,, learning to pace your enegeries is important to make it last.. from m12 years on meds I now have very little with the help of alternative medicine.
