hi all,
I hope I can find someone here who can help and advise me....
I have applied for DLA in May 2010. I got the decision in October and as you can guess, they turned me down for both components.
I got a diagnosis of major depression with pschosis and I use 3 medicines for that..In addtion I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and high blood pressure.(all were diagnosed before the decision)
On the other hand, I have canal stenosis on my lower back for 5 years which was worsened after a bus accident last year and I cannot currently walk without a crutch and cant leave my home if there is no one with me.
I coudnt be able to work since july 2010, mainly due to my mental health and due to trying to kill myself. and receiving ESA with support group without a medical.
I asked for reconsideration for my dla, wrote a letter to them explaining how my conditions affect me, side effects of 8 medicines I use everyday also sent in 3 reports from my psychiatrist, 2 reports from the pysiotherapist and 2 from occupational t. 1 from gp, they still refused.
I got my tribunal hearing next wednesday and I am worriying about this as I dont know what to expect apart from seeing 3 people questioning me about my conditions.
If anyone can answer, What do you think my chances are at the tribunal???
Is there a possibility that they can agree with the DLA people saying I have no care needs neither I am virtually unable to walk??
If it sounds that I am entitled to it what component do you think it should be and what rate?? and what is the likely period that they might award it for?(i am having the mental health issues for almost 2 years now)
I know some people may laugh at me for these questions or some may think how stupid i am asking these here....
But I truly need someone to reply whatever the answer is pleaseeeee

How many times, in how many threads are you going to post the above ? are you going to stop at six ?

Helpful people who could respond may now not respond because your multi-post is more than very irritating.

Hijacking six other peoples threads is not nice, try to be patient someone will get to you to help, you could delete 5 of your duplicates, that way any useful information given will all be in the one place for you to read.

This is just how I felt this morning when I saw them all, flooding the benefits and disability boards with a cut and past of the same question over and over again.

You ruined your post, no one else, take responsibility for what you yourself did.

When people multi-post it's considered very bad manners. When people post a question in other peoples threads its called hijacking, that's also bad manners. Doing what you did means everyone's questions and answers get completely mixed up and no one gets any help.

If you need help click the blue coloured button which says New Thread at the TLHS of the page and start your own thread :

.1. - enter a Title for your thread in the top

.2. - then enter your questions in the big box underneath

I hope this helps aliosman, go on start your thread and wait patiently someone will help you.

Timings in minutes between the pasted posts : 20 / 6 / 4 / 2 / 9 / 120 / 2

.3. N.B wait patiently means .. .. you may have to wait 24 hours.
