    But your CAB person would also write the submission for the tribunial?

    Yes she did, but didn't offer any other support and we didn't know what to expect from the tribunal so some advise about that might have been good.

    No they didn't, we did it ourself. Funnily enough I have been on a day course on how to fill them in (for my work, nothing to do with my daughter) so I had a rough idea of what was required, but obviously didn't get it right.

    But where we put for instance that she couldn't walk for 30 metres without experiencing pain, they had turned it down (initially) by saying you can walk for 50 metres!

    It was like they hadn't read what we had put!

    Ooh I would love a pair of jeans that fitted well but can't face the thought of trying on lots of pairs!

    Someone recently said they had bought some value jeans from one of the supermarkets and they fitted really well. I wish it could be that simple for me because £3 for a pair of jeans would suit me fine!

    I couldn't get a pair of £3 jeans to fit, when I was a size 16 everywhere else I couldn't even get into a 22 at asda! Their cheap sizing is really strange. They're more expensive ones (£10-15) are fine though. I need a new pair, well two really. My last pair don't fit anymore (way too big, bought in the sales last Jan) and I could do with two pairs instead of just one.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
