If you need someone with you because you get lost you should be eligible for LRM not HRM.

Are you unable to self manage your continence issues?

In that case your CPN needs to get you additional help in dealing with your appeal, they need to do more than write you a letter. If they will not do it themselves, ask if they can put you in touch with DIAL or Welfare Rights.

i will say to them thanks

You say your DLA was remooved after an appeal and that you have appealed again.

If this is the case then your second appeal, which would be to the Upper Tribunal, will only be heard if you can show, and it is accepted that there may have been, an error of law during the original tribunal.

Are you sure this is the situation? It would be unusual for a claimant to appeal to the UT without assistance from an advisor experienced in this area.

If someone that needs that much help but yet gets taken off Dla what hope is there for the rest of us the people in the DWP and Atos need yo sort themselves out if i was you i would fight fight fight for what you deserve this sort of thing should never happen good luck OP if I was you o would also take this to my MP god thinks like this make my blood boil

tonydw

hoperer is quite right that was what did happen i would have quite happily not bothered appealing for this reason but my support worker has the rights to all benefit decisions due to my Alzheimers

tonydw

She was trying to help you you would be the first to moan if you found out you could claim for something and she didn't apply for it she thought you were entitled to high rate care so she went for it its not her fault its those idiots at DWP and Atos you should be shouting at. You could also do it yourself you ungrateful so and so
