    if you had 'red flag' symptoms then I would expect you to undergo an emergency MRI followed by surgery within 24 - 48 hours; the delay here may be negligent and so you have a potential claim - if the delay has resulted in a more adverse outcome.

    How your balance can you walk less than 20 metres can you care for yourself. Request the forms you can ring for them.

    Speak to your doctor see if they can give you a letter. Get as much medical evidence as you can.

    Make a appointment with the citizens advice they have booking lines. They will help you fill in the form.

    I have established ces syndrome. I have a colostomy and a ieal conduit wee stoma. Plus at a later date my bladder was removed. I have foot drop bad in my right leg. I get pip. So u must try.

    Yours keith
