Sorry broadband - like VG I haven't been through this.

I know CAB do a wonderful job, but there's nothing like hearing from someone who's been there. I'm sure someone will be online this evening who can share their experience with you!

Had dla tribunal last Thursday. Met lady from cab half hour before and went through my papers. There was a judge a doctor and a disabled person on the tribunal panel, the clerk of the court and a representative from works and pensions. The doctor asked about my condition and how it affected me. The judge asked about my daily life and past job. The disabled lady asked why I couldn't prepare vegetables and the man from works and pensions asked if I had claimed benefit because I had been made redundant ! The judge answered for me saying maybe I had been made redundant because of my condition. Not. As bad d I thought it would be. Just look them on the eye and tell them the truth. I was awarded low rate care and low rate mobility until 2015 backdated from 2012

hello,

would advise that you contact your local law centre - just google law centre for the area you live in and give them aq call. They will have a solicitor who is trained in benefits law and they will help you, they do not charge anything. they will also help you fill in any benefits forms, go with you and represent you at appeals and tribunals.

Good luck and my best wishes to you.
