Well done . I had to go to tribunal and everything for mine . I got given it . Still wait for back dated money be 5 weeks since I got the letter .

[charmaineholmes in reply to LouLamb]

That's a long wait for the money . I can't imagine the feeling of going to a tribunal but at least it was worth it x

Hi LouLamb

Great news for you. Did you go to the tribunal or do it via post. Just put mine in and got a letter this morning saying 28 days for DWP to appeal. How did you cope with the anxiety? I can't sleep through worrying.

Keep well

Babs xx

Hi Charmaine

That's great news about Pip. Must be such a relief, your health will be better too now!. X

[charmaineholmes in reply to misty14]

Thanks .I can put my health first now .x

[jacqueline121]

Congratulations. What a relief for you. I am trying to overturn my refusal at the moment. I am just putting a letter together. It has been so stressful. I'm hoping it doesn't go to the tribunal stage.

I felt my assessment was unfair. I was so tired and the assessor kept put words into my mouth, I was awarded Indefinate DLA for Lupus, auto immune hepatitis, Sjogrens, and fibromyalgia etc, so it seems even more unfair.

I'm glad at least some people are getting through it relatively unscathed. All the best X

Thanks keep fighting x

[jacqueline121 in reply to charmaineholmes]

Thank you. Thankfully I have a friend helping me as I doubt I could do it alone.

Hope you can relax now and look after yourself. All the best X

Jacqueline, contact disability rights. They have huge success with refusal overturn. Dont give up!

Lots of love and support
