DLA ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

hi- sorry to hear that you have been turned down, I think they look for key words and assess straight away without medical evidence, you have got to appeal this decision and make them look at the medical evidence, don't give up that's what they want-hope things go well-julie51 xx

i am sorry about that, its so unfair, i hope you will appeal, in the meantime have a lovely day.(hope its not too painful for you), you are a good mum. xx

Hi jazher I left you a comment on diddle's blog about DLA that might be helpful xx

What did they give as the reason for refusal? Both times I had to appeal it was on the grounds that they hadn't contacted my doctor.

If it's due to something you've answered it may be worthwhile checking your form for the wording you used as it may be that you need to clarify what you've written - with a lot of these things it unfortunately ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it!

hopefully you will get somwhere with the appeal hun ,still cant believe they where that quick ,it normally takes weeks

hugs xxxx

Hi Jazher, sorry to hear ur news, i no just how u feel hun!!! I actually had a friend that works at DWP to fill my form in, and last thing she said to me was "it all depends who's table it lands on"!!!!!!!! meanin if that person is in a bad mood then we got no chance. I've just had my tribunal hearing for DLA & ESA, paid for letters n forms from docs money i hadnt got spare, but i was told they wud help my case. I sat there bombarded with questions from a form a sent in from 2010 which was part of appeal just to be told at the end, "We have made our decision but im not telling u now ill put it in the post" how unfair, i felt so sick. ive reapplied again for ESA and again strugglin to get it been told they wont even look at my form for at least 2 weeks and my money has been stopped again!!!! I rang for crisis loan 3 weeks ago told of situation man asked about any conditions told him, Fibro, servere depression, hemiplegic maigraines, 2 eggs tin beans n pizza in freezer, his reply was---"Dont think ur in any danger to ur self so no loan ring back next week"!!!!! And it same now money has been stopped again so have to ring tuesday if there open n beg again for money to try n survive. The way i feel i could just walk out the door n never come back, i feel usless n and a failure ive worked all my life never had to ask for nothin n bought 3 boys up on my own for the last 23 years n never had a penny from there dad. where is the justice in all of this??????? sorry ive gone on a bit, but feel good to get it off my chest as no1 understands aart from u guys xxxx sorry

Really hope you have much better luck with yours Jaz xx

I'm sorry to hear that Kel, that's awful, they did the same to me for my esa, in March., they did'nt bother to write to the doctor and went on the doctors report from last year and it was only this Feb., that the Rheumy said I'd fibro, they are b...st...ds, that's the only name for them, and my doctor won't give reports out up front he insists they write to him and ask for them, must ask him again about that actually, I appealed straight away when they took my support element off me. a few days after my appointment with the esa doctor, and the baskets still have'nt got back to me. We should all lobby our respective governments with complaints about our treatments., better luck next time Kel,

Luv my babies, contact everyone and ask for some support with it, do you have a social worker?, don't know how to get one myself, think they are attached to health centres, but it was always believed that they were good to have behind you, when you were looking for anything, must get one myself, actually, go to cab they will badger the dole and get a payment for you, they are all a shower of b........ and I'm sure everyone here will agree with me, so sorry to hear of your plight, please stay strong do you have no one anywhere that can help you now, why not ring emmer., services (sally anne or St V De Paul, and they will give you something at least you won't go hungry, God love you)

Take care

and stay strong love best wishes Claire xxxxx

sorry to hear they turned you down. i do think they automatically turn down so many claims without even fully looking into them. My original claim back in 1994 i think it was, i was still working at the time but was struggling to walk, i asked for a review, they did and awarded it for like. that was just the mobility part. now next year they will start reviewing the life awards and again turn people down. Keep pursuing your claim it and hopefully you will get the award you deserve.

good luck hugs roz xx x
