If there are any reasons you can't take certain medications you could state that as I did. Or say if you have to take a very low dose of a medication like I do with Pregablin because a higher dose gives me too many side effects.

Really go through the assessors comments with a fine toothcomb as it is amazing what mistakes they make. Are there any descriptors where you expected to gain points but didn't, were you asked relevant questions and allowed time to answer.

I managed to get standard rate care even though I was not under a specialist. I stated that I had previously been having treatment and guidance from a Pain specialist but due to lack of funding his clinics had been stopped so I just carried out his recommendations at home. They are all small points but they can mount Jo to make your case.

Good luck I wish you well.x

Hi

I'm so sorry for you. Please appeal, and give 'em what for!! Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

This guide tells you how to contest an assessor’s report. Do not use DWP’s letter about the report - ask for a copy of the full report from DWP. dwpexamination.org/wp-conte...
