    Thanks and Aww bless her that must be heartbreaking. I think it sound very positive what the guy said you've obvious gave them a lot of evidence I hope you hear back next week and that it's positive
    You need to stay on here like you know yourself it's right what you say one day someone will need your comments to help them and you learn already by never giving up.
    I hope you get the help to give you're daughter the help she needs.
    Just because I got my answers doesn't mean I forgot about others on here I know how horrible that process is and even harder for yo us it's still going and your fighting for you're child and are going through it second time round I really believe yours will be changed for you's.
    I was hoping Geordie girl would have her answer now xx

    Hi 1111, i put mine in end of march and am having my f2f on tuesday so don't worry too much! I had f2f for my ESA and was put on support straight away and hoping my f2f gets the right decision too, it has been so stressful and i'm exhausted...
    kken, i think you should be very proud of yourself for keeping fighting for your daughter, i hope everything comes right for you all and that your daughter is coping as well as she can with the situation...
    I'm worrying about my f2f, my friend is taking me as my husband is too poorly to come with me - should i go in on my own or take my friend in too?
    hope you're all having a lovely bank holiday weekend xx

    How much notice did they give you of your f2f? I wish it would just been over with, think thats the most worrying part for me :( hopefully I wont be too far behind you

    I wouldn't worry too much about your f2f. I honestly didn't think it was bad at all! I was only in the room for about 35 minutes. I was asked about my daily life etc. I took more evidence with me which she took copies of. A friend took me because i can't drive far at all but she stayed in the waiting room. I just made sure i told her a few times that i DIDN'T drive myself. I was expecting a nightmare before the f2f but it really wasn't that way for me. When i received the report back she'd actually wrote everything i said word for word! and i'd heard that reports come back completely different to how the actual f2f was. That obviously wasn't the case for me. Good luck. I'm sure it will be just fine :)

    Hi all, i received my report on Friday which said a letter had been sent separately with the decision on. The report scored me 15 points for daily living. I only had my f2f on the 13th so shocked it has all be done so quickly. Now waiting anxiously to see if the dm at dwp agrees, hopefully the letter should be here after the bank holiday. Good luck to everyone else who are waiting for their decisions.

    Hi, you can actually ring them and ask what decision has been made. I did that last week and i was told the decision. A letter has been sent to me which i'm still waiting to receive. Good luck.

    Hi, thank you i will give them a ring tomorrow after the bank holiday. Did they say how long you would have to wait for your backdated money? I have a feeling im not going to pass the decision makers choice :(

    Hi, Was told money will be in bank on Wednesday of this week :D I should receive the letter tomorrow. As for the decision maker, just remember that the f2f is there for a reason. If DM's are going to disregard what is said there would be absolutely no point in the f2f going ahead. Think positive. I know it's stressful waiting but hopefully tomorrow morning they'll tell you when you ring. Goodluck and please let us know the out come x
