      nice to hear from you again ginger ,  you sound how I feel its all wrong isn't what genuine people have to go through  my sons problems started when he had the mmr  injections ,when he was a baby he stopped speaking , I only got him  out of  pull ups when he was around 10yrs, hes on meds to help and has no fear of danger  his speech is very basic and doesn't like changes I could go on but the list never ending .. I feel if the people in the dwp had to walk in our shoes would they treat us the same probably not any way thanks for advice and kind words oh and happy Christmas x

    it will be a case of needing to send in a sick note every so often to DWP until either they turn round and say one is not longer needed, or that your son has been asked to go for a face 2 face, where they will decide which support group he would be better suited in. I am currently going through the same thing at the moment. Also the face 2 face meetings could take a while to come through depending on where you live and weather they have the staff to do it.. Hope you find this helpful.
