    All I can suggest is appeal you'll just have to wait like everyone else who is refused ESA when they fail the medical I had to and it took 15 months from appeal date to tribunal.
    well today was a complete waste of make up :eek:

    Put all your effort into losing weight. Ask your doctor for Xenical for a boost. (Yes, I know about the side effects, but your sister is there to help)

    They'll do an automatic reconsideration first and that may take a couple of months... so that is probably still ongoing. After that, if they don't change decision, they'll refer paperwork on to tribunals service. Appeal could take many more months or even a year to be heard. Supporting medical evidence could be helpful... presumably the CAB have advised regarding such.

    I hope your dr has ruled out things like severely under active thyroid and cushings syndrome as possible causes of your weight gain. Also some pct will pay for weight loss schemes and have you been referred to a dietician as well

    Tribunals are not as bad as they seem, they are much more professional than the assessments are.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.
    [/greenhighlight][redtitle]
    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    I am 75 years old , weigh 10 stone 11 lb, can run up the high street still go out on my mountain bike. Recently took my 17 year old Granddaughter to the London Museums and walked the legs off her . Enjoy my nosh and a drink . Adhere to no diet except zero junk food.
    I put it down to being a youngster during WWII when food was scarce and you had no opportunity to gorge yourself and dodging the nasties Hitler was lobbing over the channel led to a lean metabolism.
    Perhaps we were the fortunate ones after all.

    stop feeling sorry for yourself, take some responsibility for yourself, and stop gorging down food.

    When your life is a mess, stop and think what you are doing before bringing more kids into it, it's not fair on them.
