Well I had my appeal on the 19th and I was not given a decision on the day, I had to wait for the post man. There are members on here who have been refused by post after not getting the decison there and then. And there are members on here who never got their decision on the day and then got it awarded by post. You can only hang in there until it comes through. We are all here to support you whichever way it goes xxxxx
