Hi
I suffer from fibro fog constantly, although I have been diagnosed by several people with it the physiological has just been accepted rather than commented on by doctors.
At the assessment I failed the series seven test, although I did the nurse said I was ok with it.
I found a piece on a website about fibro. that commented on how fibro fog affects people in this area. It also mentions how people get confused while out even in familiar places. This is another issue with me.I panic in unfamiliar places.
Would a tribunal be willing to look at this?
Thank you.

You can present whatever arguments you want, I would include information about the Fibro fog, if you do then make sure that you include a link to the original article as well.

Hi
Thank you for that
I have just received a phone call from the DWP offering my standard mobility if I drop the appeal?
Should I take it? Are they suppose to do that and why have they done that?
I get standard care and I was going for enhanced care and standard mobility.
I asked for time to think about it so they are phoning tomorrow.
Thank you

We can't help you with this, you must make the decision for yourself.

Your options are;

- continue with the appeal
- accept the offer
- accept the offer and make a new appeal

In the case of the latter, you should not tell the DWP that you intend to pursue the matter further as DWP procedures would require them to then withdraw the offer.

I would go for the the third option of Gordons list. That way you have gained and have nothing to lose, plus if it goes to appeal they have to tell you in advance that you are at risk of losing it. That's their way of saying Take it and run, I think. Then you have the option of not going through with the appeal... but you will still be quids in and also knowing you gave it another good shot.
