take the DLA and ESA to a tribunal, it is a lot but it is worth it. get all the information you can get from all the doctors you see which will help. have you had a medical yet?

l really feel for you, have been put into work related group myself and yet can hardly look after myself let alone work! am appealing against decision and spoke to my GP on Tuesday who is going to back me up and was at CAB yesterday who are also helping me with paperwork etc and are representing me so am feeling a bit less stressed knowing that l have some support at least, it seems we just have to keep on fighting our corner!!!and l know how stressing it is and that makes Fibro worse,take heart in knowing you are right to fight!! even if fighting is'nt right! (if you get my meaning!)

I am so sorry, i think you should definatly appeal as this is what they are doing to most peopl in the hope that nobody will follow through with the appeals.

I know its a lot but keep fighting have your upset moment and then get angry and fight for what you are entitled to. Its disgusting what these idiots are putting people through.

Good luck with it all and keep us updated.

hugs, kel xxxx

my CAB were fab at paprwork but were not allowed to represent me - policy I hear. Use the medical inform on every site you can find, Fibromyalgia UK is good. Use your experiance day by day - keep a diary confirmed by your GP - mine was lovely. However I got £20odd for care allowance and no mobility allowance. I can't go through it all again but I wish you all the luck in the world

I can no longer claim ESA and my application for DLA has been turned down and I am so angry and will use that anger in a good way and I am going to appeal, its all we can do, don't give in!! x x x x

I have been put on the work related group and in pain everyday I have my appeal on the 22nd of June for the DLA and ESA and my nerves are going ,i have been refused once and put in an appeal with the help of the CAB, you do have to keep fighting for your rights there is no way I could go back to work some days I carnt even get out of bed with the pain and it causes a lot of depression,but keep fighting has I am,Good luck.

Not what you're looking for?
