Thanks hope your well.Took a lot of persistence but got there in the end

If I get the same assessor as my son (Asperger Syndrome) has in December last year, all will be fine as that assessor knows about RA. He assured he would make sure I get it.

He noticed my hands were swollen.

It took a year long battle to get ESA but I won at appeal.

So, keep fighting!
