Good luck on Friday I am just starting this process and am getting pretty confused with all the literature, however my clinical psychologist who is also a lupus patient has advised me to go for it. Let me know how you get on. x

I strongly advise you have someone there to support you! My son drove me to my Tribunal and he and his fiance,,came into the Tribunal Room with me.I had appealed twice and turned down,,i was also at the Tribunal!

The judge did say when all done "Reapply" !!!

I have not got the energy!!

I do have Lupus and Fibromyalgia and somedays are a real struggle.The very best of luck to you,,hope a good outcome tomorrow.x
