I have been fighting for 3 years now with DWP and ATOS because of Fibro/Arthritis, I attended 2 Tribunals, One of Which there was a disabled man sitting on the Board along with a Judge and a Doctor.. They seen the difficulties I had walking, sitting, standing and picking things of the table, etc. I am glad to say I was put into ESA Support Group indefinately at the 1st Tribunal and got High Rate Mobility at the 2nd. So it is worth fighting for.
