Hi, just to update everyone. I've been told today over the phone that my mandatory reconsideration has probably failed,and have said it is unlikely to be changed,their reason was very concerning. On the phone they said regarding a letter that my wife sent them that they only have my wife's word. How humiliating. The woman that has cared for me for several years, her words are just not being believed. How disgusting. How long can this go on?
The media seem to be getting hold of how people are being treated,. Let's hope that there will be an inquiry. I can't believe that they are getting away with it.regards Richard.

I'm not entirely surprised about the comment, a Tribunal panel will view her letter differently, especially if she is available for questions on the day.

It would seem that it's all about written evidence,if you have an illness like cfs/me,whereby we don't know much about what's causing the illness like I do,it's going to be difficult to claim, of course penalising people for illnesses like that is just intellectual stupidity,because illness has always been like this as my doctor says,however the dwp are not supposed to discriminate between illnesses,the problem is if you have no written evidence they don't believe you,they have said on the phone,they only have our word,that's what's come as a shock to me,not being beleived when you are so disabled is tough to take.i would like to hear from anyone with cfs/me to hear their story,it's seems like you can qualify for a enhanced daily living and mobility on the form,but if you can't supply written evidence,you won't get what you should.Ofcourse this is probably not the decision makers fault but simply what they have been told to do,it's wrong and shows a lack of understanding of illness.i would really like to hear from others with me/cfs Richard.
