I too could not get a professional to represent her, without a shed load of money.....which if we had she wouldn't be asking for support!!


Good luck at the appeal hearing on the 9th T, hope all goes well. :)

Please let us know how you get on.

Woo hoo!!! The appeal went in our favour :) very nerve racking experience and my poor daughter was totally wiped out at the experience. The panel consisted of three, judge, dr, and a rotti of a lady from disability, who was quite harsh.and a dwp person was present.
I wouldn't want to repeat the experience, but so glad I didn't cave in at the beginning of the paperwork mountain.oh and no representatives, just mom and daughter !
If you think you have a good case....go for it, but PREPARE well.good luck!

Congratulations on the win.

You may be able to speed the process of back payment, etc., by sending a copy of the award notice to the DWP.
