Incapacity Benefit Tribunal

Well, we've only bloody gone and done it.

Letter came today.

OH has WON the tribunal :T :T :T

And it was a written one which goes to show just how strong a case he had and proves what a pair og imbiciles the *Indipendent* GP and DM were.

10 sodding points they gave him ~ the tribunal of common sense have awarded him 16.

To be honest, I dont give one jot about the money but as far as proving that yes, being 34 and needing new hips is a bit of a disability to the monkeys who worked on his claim/case/appeal is like winning the lottery.

I'd even like to stick one in the eye of the CAB who refused to help (and basically told us we didnt have a chance)

But I'm not bitter :p

    Congratulations! It's such a relief when it's reinstated, isn't it?

    You were unlucky with CAB. Do write to them and tell the result - maybe they'll be more accommodating in the future.
  • Well done!

    Congratulations on your win!
    Hope you don't mind me posting in your thread but I wanted to share that my dad has also today just won his appeal for incapacity benefit :D

    They refused him before saying he'd got only 6 points (he has a serious heart condition, can't lift things, can't walk far, out of breath easily etc, but because he didn't need an alcoholic drink when he woke up, he was deemed fit to work) :confused:

    Anyway, the people today gave him 23 points! bit of a difference! His condition has got worse since the original rejection as well so they took that into consideration as well :)

    The CAB also said they couldn't help my dad with his appeal because they only take on cases with 7 points or more as they expect to lose any others - although this obviously wasn't true in your case!

    Congratulations again
