Thanks for your reply we tried to tell the lady why she couldnt do these things but she just kept talking over us . I felt she put words in my daughters mouth ..and i didnt think telling her she wouldnt get enough points was clever as that just left my daughter in a mess and stressed .. There is no way on earth if we dont get it after 6 YRS on Dla that i will let her go threw this again .. Doubt its worth complaining to anyone , . many thanks again , just dont no how long we wait now for the no letter
Phone immediately requesting a copy of the medical report.
As soon as this arrives, note errors with it, and return by return of post, also letting them know by phone that you have important corrections to the medical report.
They should in principle at least look at the problems about the report you list.
Do not wait until the decision is made.0 -
re what do we need the money for ... she used to have taxis to hosp school for 5 yrs but not at college . so i have to drive her every where to the gps . hosp , healthy minds , you name it , with out the extra money i couldnt be with her and care for her like she needs i would have to return to work to keep a roof over our heads and she would not be able to go to college . such a shame this has been her life for 9 yrs she wants to try college even may be try uni , There is only her and me , , iv spoken to someone today who had rang capita told them we will be making a complaint , also her report has already gone to the dwp , all very quick and speedy ... thanks for all the kinds comments . x0

just to add ....
the person that made the hone visit doesn't make the decision. sp they were acting well beyond their capabilities in saying anything.
as long as your paper evidence was stromng, i wouldn't get myself too worried just yet0 -

OP, how do you feel about calling them up and letting them know about what the medical person said at the end and how their stupidity and clear ignorance caused your DD to need critical medical treatment? I would have gone mad if it had been me!
Call....make a complaint and ask for a copy of the medical notes ASAP as you feel that it'll be based on a biased POV. Its terrible how she has been treated.
Like someone said, it never goes on diagnosis unless terminal, but goes on how your illness/disability affects the person to what they cannot do compared to a healthy person.
When does your DD turn 18?

Repeatably - as often as needed.
Safely - without causing herself or others safety issues.
In a reasonable time period - no more than twice what it would take a normal person.
If she cannot do an activity - for whatever reason - for example it would bring on an episode, or likely cause her condition to worsen - then she cannot do it.
Even if she can actually struggle through and physically complete the action.
