Hi
any advice would be great I have rhuematiod arthritis I applied for DLA last Nov as walking a very small distance was very painful.I had a medical around June a few days prior to this my walking improved and the pain was a bit more manageable .I told the visiting dr everything truthfully and my application was refused Within a few weeks my condition steadily got worse so much that the pain was unbearable and I was housebound. I have since had lot of treatment which should give me short term help, then a major operation is the next plan . At the moment my walking is great still having some painful days compared to life a few weeks ago i feel great . Sorry to ramble but i dont know wether to attend appeal. Any help would be great.Thanks.

Yes of course you should attend the appeal. I hope you have an experienced welfare rights specialist to help you with the appeal & to represent you? If not, then try to get to see one asap. If you phone your local council they should be able to give you details of any organisations that offer welfare benefit help & advice in your area.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
attending the appeal greatly increases the chances of a positive outcome0
