I WON!!

[padders]

Hi just thought i would give you all some hope!!

I was put in the back to work group after my ATOS medical! I wrote a very long to the point but polite appeal against this and I have won!! I have been put in the support group for 2 years!! Also I have been awarded middle carers and top mobility for another 2 years on DLA and I also have been awarded sever disability component as I cannot claim carers allowance. I have had it all back dated to 6th August so I had to sit down when I saw my bank account
Please don't give up trying we can win if we have patience.
All I can say is we are going to have one good xmas because of the back pay I can now afford my Electric mobility chair which is coming next week x
I hope you all can be as lucky as me x

well done fellow winner. we need to start a winners club.


I know I wouldnt have coped with everything leading up to my appeals if I had not has the support of this forum and the fibro support page on facebook.


I just checked my bank account... my money went in on Friday it doesn't make me better, it just makes it so I am not desperately poor and sick. I have a list of items that I have seen that will improve my quality of life... for example... a spinner to help me get in and out of a car... i thought what a good idea.

So so pleased for you!

Ive just received a letter this morning telling me i have be denied DLA,im now so worried as i have recently been dismissed from my job due to ill health and although i am at present getting ESA i have my medical for that next week,which is also worrying me. I would be so grateful from anyone who has some advice for me,ive not been sleeping hardly for the past 4 nights and going to bed around 6am,my body is in so much pain,my head feels like its about to explode and as for the restless legs,im going out of my mind as im constantly fidgeting. So please any advice would be muchly appreciated.

Many thanks!

i would go to your gp and tell him how you feel, and he will be able to help you help your body wiht the stress.

he may also be able to give you some advice on dealing wiht this.

if not contact citizens advice bureau or welfare rights at hte coundil, at least appeal the initial decision if it is as they always turn people away first time. and one of these guys will be able to help you wiht taking it further.

it is a hard battle i know but if it is your first attempt try and at least fight to the next level if you can.
take carej
