Here we go again!

[AndrewT]

I have, yet another, 'Review' of my Benefit Claim. Last time, about fifteen (maybe eighteen) months ago it was declined. I took it to their Review Court and won. The ruling stated that I should receive the benefits until 2020......now I've got another Review......here we go round the Mulberry Bush.....

I'll let you all know!

Good luck. Do you use the disability advice centre, I’ve found them to be really good.

You have my sympathies. The stress isn't what we need.

You'll have ill informed people thinking "what's to worry about? If it's a genuine claim you'll be awarded it" Unfortunately it's never guaranteed when your ill health is due to a condition that many of the people making decisions on your claim know nothing about.

Dear Gilders,

My basic condition Won't change, in fact, it is likely to decline over time. That is a FACT recognised by Social Services, I live in Supported Living, and ALL my Doctors Consultants. It was also accepted by the Court, last year.....as I said, here we 'GO' again!

Thank you for you comments/support though Gilders, it IS appreciated.

Dear All,

First of all, thank you for your replies, they are much appreciated. I had the 'Review' and, apart from the Usual Stuff around this time of year, I think 'No news Is Good News'. What's the Betting that I Get a 'Refusal' tomorrow?

Thanks for your reply Susan, I haven't looked it up, yet anyway.

As I said, thanks to all

AndrewT
