Hi Juliej51,

My appeal was heard at about the same time as yours (08/02/18). I had a call on Monday (26/02/18) checking bank details still the same. Was told be in my bank within 5 days.

Hope that’s about the same for you.

Regards.

Pleased you won what you deserve. Hope you have a better quality of life now, for me my mobility side of pips was taken off me. Losing my car has been especially difficult. I suffer daily at different levels, cmt. Osteoporosis. Rheumatoid athritis. IBS. Asthma and non of the above qualify me. I had payment stopped November last year and am still waiting appeal date. I go for second knee replacement may so hope it doesn't clash. My hcp who assessed me lied on so many points. Right down to saying I was well presented wearing make up. ( not wore make up for more than 11 years, fingers not good enough for applying so just gave up). Anyone know is tribunal difficult process. My nerves are shattered.

Really sorry to hear that but you must not give up as you deserve to be heard.The appeal itself wasn't as bad as i thought,the judge was nice as were the other 2 ppl.You need someone who can support your case I took my mum who has CMT like me.You have nothing to lose and keep fighting as the depression and stress that is causing you can also help your tribunal. All of the descriptors that you qualify for are online and im sure if your knee is a problem then thats more evidence in your favour.hope it all comes good for you good luck ❤

Maz I hear the muscular dystrophy society have a good benefits team and are great supporting us since CMT is a type of muscular dystrophy try them and see what they say
