SUCCESS WON IN COURT TRIBUNAL

Hi Bezzy
I am also profoundly deaf and used a Speech to Text Operator at my face to face you should automatically be awarded points for this in communicating, I also stated that when out and about I am unable to hear traffic which is unsafe, I cannot use public transport for the reasons you state, I was awarded points for both of these, you have to make sure the DWP knows you had communication support at your assessment as I found the assessor did not mention this in her report, when I contacted the DWP about it they immediately put a MR in for me and I won my case

At last i be successful at tribunal yesterday , has a working driving instructor my defence was tricky , but i was was awarded 8 points in section. 7 d. communicating Verbally

and 4 points In. Section 9 c. engaging with other people fact to face
So 12 points enhanced daily living

18 mths back pay to be recieved, been stressful but worth seeking justice

Gordon ,
my appeal was referred some mix up dates, anyway attended tuesday this week For my tribunal,
SUCCESS.
Recived 12 points. Enhanced daily living
Under 7 :d communicating verbally and
