appeal

Posted , 4 users are following.

what a experience that was, i felt as if i was on trial, never really got much of a chance to put my case forward the lawyer , well he was the main speaker the doc hardly said a thing, the lawyer just kept going on and on with loads of questions and i felt john or i didnt have much of a chance to say what we wanted.. anyway they awarded the low rate care part which is £17 a week and i feel so disapointed as i explained all about the help my husband gives me during the night which gives u middle of high rate and i feel they just discarded that.. so good luck to anyone that has to fight for this... im going to keep going though as i feel i and u all deserve this...

    Hi Di

    Firstly well done to you for going to your Appeal. Not looking forward if I ever have to go. :cry: You have done us all proud! Like you say fight for what you deserve. :cry: It is a shame they never listened to you properly about the help you need overnight though. :cry:

    Well I am not too bad today although still have some pain in by big toes.

    Got worse since we have had the wet weather. :cry: Still try to do my exercises each day when I am able.

    Hope everyone else is coping ok today.

    Love Tess x x

    Well Done Di,

    Thats a step in the right direction. As Tess said, awful that they didnt listen to all of ur story.

    Sorry to hear ur toes are still painful Tess. The weather here has been bright and sunny, but still very cold. Had to scrap the ice off the car this morning.

    Absess burst through the night...and what a relief! Ive noticed I seem to get these at certain times of the month. Just going to keep and eye on things coz Ive noticed other little changes which have been going on for a while, Dr suggested it maybe initial stages of the menopause.. :roll: Oh Happy Days.... :lol:

    Take Care All

    Hi Lindy

    Glad it burst for you! Must be a bit more comfortable for you now.

    I didn't mean my boiler sorry was referring to Ses having one thing go after another. Luckily ours is ok but got a bit of a leak. I am lucky though as my husband can deal with that. :lol:

    Everything seems to get blamed on the menopause! :cry:

    Hope you are not in too much other pain today.

    Love Tess x x

    Bless you hun xxxx a step in the right direction hun but hey you fight it girl, fight them all the way!!!!! they realize now that you need help!!!! wait until you get the statement of reasons and I bet they contradict themselves for their conclusion, like they did with mine, that is why I am fighting...... I think is because they do not know anything about \"fibromyalgia\" and that is the main problem!!!!!

    MY appeal has been adjourned as I didn't have the main papers I should have had so adjourned until the 9th, the Judge excepted my further findings of government rules and DWP so I am so chuffed he listened to my points, just a shame I have to re-attend another appeal!!! but thats fine I am fighting then all the way too!!!!

    Anyway my dear friends I have just introduced Moll to you all I have told her we are a friendly bunch so please say hi.......[quote:3ddb41369e]how can I explain to others[/quote:3ddb41369e] :lol:

    Hugs to you all xxxxxx

    Hi Di xxx

    I only receive low rate care, that is why I am waiting for my appeal, as I am in constant pain walking or not!!!! My back locks due to the OA in my spine and I have all sorts of problems....... I am fighting them all the way....... just waiting for them to decided when my appeal is?? :oops: The appeal yesterday the Clerk asked me if I had been on a DLA appeal and I said yes....... there was a problem with my taxi fare and she said as she could see I was struggling she awarded me the taxi fare, so hopefully they talk to each other and know my pain is constant!!!!!

    Hope you are ok hun xxxxxx
