Legal Advice Centre/Epilepsy

Amazingly, new "advisor" - totally different view from first so, although can only provide "hand Holder" it's still progress, esp as she was v v positive re my GP's completion of the B+W GP form. Horrifically, she said that if this had been put through with the Appeal Application, I may not have been called!! It doesn't diminish the dread but at least I don't feel as much of an fool as previously,

She's written a submission letter for me which refers to the new Government Guidelines re PIP/Epilepsy but wasn't sure whether, since this postdated my assessment, it would apply to me. However, the original UT decision was just before the assessment so does it apply?

[I'm going to stick to the earlier Appeal date, if only because health is worsening]

I've read - not sure where - that if I'm relying on a decision, I need to take 3 copies to give to the Tribunal. There's quite a lot I have to copy/print so do I have to do make copies to give to the Tribunal members or could/should I assume they know about it and will have copies?

Thanks again

Just back from the Tribunal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had zero points from the Assessment/DM and now have Enhanced for Living and Mobility!!!
[The Judge said it was in the post but decided to wait)
I know that the DWP can appeal from this but wonder on what basis/how often they do this?so, Practically, I know, s, it could be a while before I get the cash
The award is until May 2019 - roughly the same time as my DLA was to be so am now crossing fingers until then...
BUT I'm still winding down from the shock - it'll take ages for this to sink in

Cannot thank you enough,want to/will say more in next post/shout out but first of all want to especially thank you for the "GP's Report" doc. I'm sure that this made all the difference. I'm very glad I did go to "another advisor" who believed in the form as well as me but, wow, it's an amazing document.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
