As I mentioned my O/H is something of an expert in this area. She has won all but one of her appeal cases (where the client cocked it up), and has never had an original application turned down.
Its down to the interpretation of the descriptors and the clients incapacities.
Her reading of the descriptors is that a case COULD be made. Stronger with a second issue/illness, but enough of a case to possibly get through first time.
Yes So.
You could not interpret the descriptors to score enough points on illiteracy alone. A case COULD NOT be made without there being some other condition as they could not score enough points to qualify.0 -
Thankyou for your help. There really is no need to carry on arguing about it as I have the info I need now. Thankyou all so much.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040
