CFS/ME & CROHNS DISEASE (child)

Applied again for DLA for my daughter. (have two appeals awaiting a hearing) Had a phone call from the DWP asking if i would like a visit from EMP to speed things along. I was a little suspicious at first but agreed, anyway he has been today and conducted the assessment.
It was the same doctor that carried out the first assessment. I have to say he was very professional and friendly.
Does anyone know how long it takes for a decision to be made once you have had an EMP examination.

sorry cant answer your question, but hope you get a great decision.
i have fibromyalgia (same as cfs/me) and feel for your daughter going through this, its awful.
good luck and fingers crossed for you

hi Maremana,
I waited about three weeks after a home medical before I heard and I got good result.I also was waiting for appeal.

Hope get a good outcome
wishing you all the best. Bubs x

Wonderful news, I got a telephone call this morning from the DWP they informed me that from the EMP report my daughter was entitled to HRM and MRC until 2013, the two appeals would be cancelled and the award back dated to 2008.

Thank you for all the help and advice offered, I would highly recommend this site to people in this situation.

For all that are going through what I have gone through with my daughter please don't give up, chin up and battle on!!!!

That really is brilliant news, congratulations and best wishes to you and your daughter!
