well today I had my appeal hearing, we were in there for an hour and a half, so they could not give me a decision then and there, they said they will send the letter out by the end of the day. It was horrible, I thought they were grilling me and making me doubts of what I can and can't do

Hi lash, if it was DLA or ESA I have been through both. My best advice is wait for there reply you never know you might be surprised. If not you can appeal again or ask for it to be looked at again, and for you to get more evidence. CAB was no good for me. Have you got welfare rights in your area. Get letters off your consultant and GP and if you can do a diary of a day to day that should help also. Please keep us informed on how you get on. If you would like to message me with information or questions you can do so, and I will see if I can help and compare it with my case. Remember you are entitled to the benefit so get angry not worried. xxxxx
