NIIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!

really depressed! Just got reply about my DLA appeal today and have to go to tribunal. Looked at all the evidence they sent me back and my physio that I had seen 6 times for hydrotherapy made errors on the form and the Atos Dr that came to see me also made errors and totally contradicts himself on several occassions. He seemed really good too,much better than the one that saw me in 2007 anyway and at the end of the medical he was saying that it wasn't fair that I had been knocked down to LRC from HRM & MRC when I obviously needed it and there was so many scammers getting the benefits!! Luckily I had arranged for my Dad to be there and he is witness to all of what he said but the contradictions he made in his report speak for themselves. What a dissappointment though after feeling that the medical had gone really well! Glad to hear that some of you have been reinstated and/or upgraded it gives me some hope! The same thing happened in 2007 and I went to tribunal and the decision was unanimous for HRM&MRC but at least I knew the Dr was bad and wouldn't give a good report so expected it then but this Dr gave me confidence that he would give me a good report! Sorry for babbling just my heads about to explode

Also if the tribunal goes against me and leaves me at LRC can I apply again even though I am getting LRC?

Hello Victan
Sorry to hear about the trouble you are having.
I myself have had to go to a tribunal again this year as I had my HRM and MRC taken away by the DM. They backed down before the tribunal and gave me back HRM but only LRC but still fancied my chances at tribunal and luckily they reinstated MRC.
Hope all goes well for you and you have your DLA reinstated.
Kind regards
Sue
