I interpreted Tizzy's comment as meaning...

ME and Fibromyalgia is genuine!!!!!!

Hi Tizzy

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your good news.

Your hearing highlights why it is so important for appellants to attend an oral hearing. People often fear being interrogated at a tribunal but in many cases the tribunal are close to making a positive decision, and only want to ask one or two questions to fill in the gaps.

I hope this encourages others to opt for an oral hearing.

Best wishes

Derek

Thank you very much for your great help and information,,IB tribunal success today. Did not have a representative as local council does not allow Welfare rights worker to attend due to cut backs,My husband accompanied me, The chairperson felt they only needed to ask me two questions that had not been covered properly at ATOS medical and were satisfied with my answers,They apologised for me having to attend the tribunal and gave me the answer in less than five minutes. Another success for ME and Fibromyalgia chronic sufferer.Thanks again and to all genuine sufferers DO NOT GIVE UP you have nothing to fear

well done, and interesting post you say "and to all genuine sufferers" are you saying some are faking it ? your words

Hi Dave

What exactly did you mean by 'some'. Were you asking Tizzy if she is saying 'some genuine sufferers' are faking it, or 'some people' are faking it?

Congratulations on winning your IB appeal. Does that mean you have automatic conversion to support group for ESA or do you have to go through it all again?
