Hello Painkillers,

If you haven't done so already, please consider emailing info@fibroaction.org as we can send you the Benefits & Work Guides for free.

Here is the Benefits & Work website

I hope this helps

Best Wishes

Did you not go to tribunal? I appealed twice and was refused and then I was given a choice of taking it to tribunal,where you sit in front of 3 people on a panel and fight your case,my tribunal was a couple weeks ago and I was awarded lower rate care,i started it last July and they have back dated my payments to then which I have received this morning,as my mobility is worse now they could only take into consideration how I was back in July which wasn't as bad as I am now,I am just about to start the whole process again to try and claim for mobility,it was a long hard slog but I am prepared to start it all over again!

My advice to you is don't give up and let them win!

I've been fighting all my life my daughter is severely disabled my son adhd my other son has dyspraxia nd my youngest daughter has problems with intestines I'm really depressed

How long do I wait after applying between appeal & tribunal
