Well done hunni. You have won what you are entitled to so it is in no way bragging. I was not so lucky. I was declared fit for work with 15 ongoing health problems, one being fibro and one of the others COPD. I even lost at the tribunal because of all the lies told by ATOS. I tell everyone to keep trying even though I could not bring myself to claim again. I could not go through it again, at the time I had been told I had an illness that would most likley kill me before anything else did, so I was just not up to it. I ended up claiming CA as my daughters carer, and I was given a top up of IS on the grounds that our local DWP could plainly see at my interviews that I was not fit for work. The local DWP were pretty good to me and did all they could to help. But I am so pleased for you xxxxx

I'm so pleased for you, it must be such a relief for you not to have the worry hanging over you, Im still in the battle mode, but am just so chuffed for you . You have given me the hope to carry on, as I have been feeling like not pushing through with my possible tribunal.

Gentle hugs. F.....iest x

I was awarded the support group as well. I tell you it's been a worry , especially reading different stories on here. My friend has got her date for a tribunal, she was refused & is fighting her case. I pray she wins, as I know she is not fit to work.

Keep fighting them, Sending fibro hugs to all. (((O))) X
