Hi,

I've need advised to take all my paperwork to the tribunal (mine is also today @ 3:40!)

Good luck xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Sorry, that was supposed to read 'been advised' x

[dennydee in reply to Hidden]

Have you got someone going with you?I have but i've never met him so really not looking forward to it. Good luck with yours. x

[Hidden in reply to dennydee]

I've got a lady from a local charity who help people with DWP claims and appeals. I've met her a couple of times, and she seems helpful. I must admit though, I am terrified. My stomach has been churning all morning, and I can feel myself seizing up where I'm tense. Let me know how you get on you can PM me if you'd prefer xx

[dennydee in reply to Hidden]

Back home with good news.Awarded HRC and HRM .Wow worth waiting for.!!! x

[Hidden in reply to dennydee]

Well done I didn't have such a good time and they still refused my claim unfortunately.

[dennydee in reply to Hidden]

So sorry to hear your bad news.I was very lucky to get three very nice and understanding women on the panel.xx

[Lucyw in reply to dennydee]

Absolutely fantastic news, well done! Is it forever or 3 yrs?

Do you suffer from fibro and anything else or just fibro which of course is enough!

The reason I ask is because I get HRM and MRC but only for 3 yrs and then I have to go through it again. I use sticks and sometimes a wheelchair, how about you??

Well done again you must be so relieved, also one last question, do you work? I do part time I am wondering if its easier if you're not working.

[dennydee]

I only get until 2015 because it's backdated for one year.I enquired what would happen then and was told i would have to apply again as it would be PIP.What a joke.!! I have Fibro/ME,OA,severe back pain ,depression,and irritable bladder.I don't use sticks or a wheelchair but I do struggle to walk.I am 63 and recently finished work after being off sick for one year.I don't think I will be so scared to go through it again now I know what happens but I do know I was very lucky to get three very nice people on the tribunal panel.I just answered all the questions the best I could.

Good luck to everyone who it going through it all. XX

Well done to you dennydee.

I also won my appeal earlier in March and am already finding the DLA makes a massive difference to my options and choices.

Likewise - good luck to all those going through this.
