Woke up to a nice letter from the DWP this morning

[smileydave10]

Hi all, for those of you who have replied to my comments/questions on this forum, I just want to let you all know that after having been awarded low care component on the 5th march 2014, I appealed through a 'supersession' and won. yes WON. Was awarded high rate mobility and middle rate care, I just want to thank everybody involved on this site and as the saying goes "NEVER GIVE UP", you will succeed in the end. Good luck to everybody, i will be in the background of this forum now, once again a massive thank you from BIGGER SMILEY DAVE

I really struggle with medication I have had most oral tablets I was put on now I could be spelling this wrong fenytel patches but I couldn't cope with the side effects. Back on co-codamol not good. I'm really pleased for you. Take care. Xx

[bbstport]

congratulations. can you please tell me what a supersession is please ?

[smileydave10 in reply to bbstport]

Hi, when I had my tribunal in March for dla, I won but was only awarded low care component , I was told I could appeal again through a super session which is just filling out another dla form but with your up to date illness. At my docs we have a benefits adviser who filled this form in, they received it 17th April and I was awarded high rate mobility and middle care . Hope this explains it in brief.

[bbstport in reply to smileydave10]

thanks for that was that after a reconsideration and before you went to appeal please ?

[lilian68]

Congratulations to you and your wife! Sorry you had to go through all this. DWP are so unfair with us who are unwell.I am preparing evidence to send to the tribunal after the nonsense decision on my PIP.
