It is really cold here tonight Beanie, so I can imagine it's even colder up there. I've been tempted to turn the heating up a little all day! I haven't though.
Everything done and everyone asleep

So I take it no word on the DLA?
Will you maybe have time to speak to them this week?

Need to appeal Beanie. Have left a message with the MP asking for help
Not a good day
I think that's made my mood even worse to be honest. I think I was hoping it would be sorted soon now and it would just make things so much easier. Plus being tired doesn't help I guess tired of juggling too much “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
I can't believe they're making you appeal the DLA, you must've got more then enough medical evidence to back up the claim. So unfair
Hope you get everything sorted very soon xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
So they have turned down the MR?
With all the additional medical evidence :mad: :mad:
I will not type what I think of that.

Yeah the mandatory reconsideration notice came this morning. They aren't changing the outcome. I only opened it this afternoon after being on the phone all morning. I plan to appeal though. With help. We can't manage without it and without carers Nor can I expect an employer to put up with me needing so much time off for appointments with her/her being unwell etc. “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0

Good grief it's all happening at your end today isn't it Will it take long for the appeal meeting - not sure I'm using the correct terminology there, but you'll know what I mean.
Is it looking like the smalls will be well enough for school tomorrow? x0 -
The appeal can take a while.

Really sorry about the MR decision. It just doesn’t make sense. Glad the MP is involved and fingers crossed the appeal is sorted quickly XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0
