Thank you yes it is a huge weight off my mind as a very good friend of mine had to go for a medical and scored no points. I've spent the last two weeks sorting out his appeal papers x

Yes I did use the benefit and works guides don't think I would have had such a good result without them. Would recommend that anyone filling in their ESA50 gives as much info on how their disability affects their day to day activities as possible xx

I know it's just not fair and I feel so sorry for those who do not get the result that they should. So many people are being pushed on to JS this isn't about getting people back to work its about taking away as much of our independence as they can . We just gotta keep fighting xx
