Another DLA refusal. Is it worth appealing?

Do you have a partner that works or claims more than £50 pw in benefits, have savings over £6k?

Did they tell you why you are not entitled to IS?

No, no partner and definitely no savings.

No idea why I've been rejected. I was told I'm receiving all I'm entitles too.

Rev i so know how you are feeling, my back is just knacked from lifting my daughter for a good number of years.I have numb left foot and lower leg and the feeling has never come back. i too have lots of pain just recently had 2 wks in bed in agony ,im up now but still in pain.

I dont feel i meet the criteria for dla as things maybe bad for me now i know in couple of weeks it will get better until it flares up again .

If you feel you want to appeal then go ahead they can only say yes or no .

I feel they didn't take the bad into account. Just the good.

Like you I have good days and bad days. Bad days I have no use of my left leg, but can't put any weight on my right lef because it's too painful. So i have to have someone behind me to life my leg to get up stairs. I need help turning over in bed, washing, toilet etc. I can't even sit up. Then like you it'll gradually get better. But I'm never without pain, I still can't carry things or walk for very long.

But obviously they just went on the good days and ignored the rest.

You could try telling your GP what they are, but at the end of the day, he/she cannot still confirm what they are without actually seeing them. To do so without actually witnessing them, the report would be unfair, unprofessional and above all untrue.

So the DWP latch onto this well known situation and state that the GP says that as far as he/she is aware 'you don't have any'!

doesnt stop ATOS does it?

Thanks everyone. I'll call tomorrow and tell them I want to appeal. I'll also make an appointment with my doc. She is usually helpful with stuff like this. She's been great with my mum so I can only ask.
