Thank you, I have contacted Disability Action NI after being pointed in that direction by the MP's office (apparently they can't help with benefits), and will definitely contact Kester if I can't get any further support. I didn't realise we could be waiting up to a year - I was thinking the Tribunal could be imminent now the DfC's decision is back, but that would take some of the pressure off in some respects, but also prolonging the stress! My best wishes for everyone having to go through this process - it is awful and you feel like you're talking to a brick wall!
