Thanks An ex nurse and phrank
I am frequently told that I am never normal
and thats from family.
Still, I come onto the forum to relax and help fellow members. I noticed in the news letter this week that success appeals have gone down.
I think this could be down to advice agencies closing their doors during lockdown and claimants trying to do their own appeals without any guidance. I came across a client a few weeks ago who had started their appeal, they sent in one paragraph, I did a submission for them, 8 pages. DWP contacted them and offered std daily living which they took as they did not want to attend a tribunal.
Their claim was backdated 18 months along with SDP for their IR ESA

Totally agree, my self taught expert friend saw a woman when he was in the waiting room for one of his many successful appeals who hadn't sent in anything! Of course in my biased-by-experience opinion it's no accident the gov't has starved many advice agencies out of existence, such as the one who years ago thank God steered my OH's appeal to lifetime DLA which age has enabled him to keep. And indirectly too: I hoped to join CAB years ago but had to get a job because we needed the money, so never did.
So the perfect moment to thank all the volunteer Mods
