Now that I have lost my tribunal appeal,
do I have to start the whole process of
a brand new claim? Also a council friend
of ours who works in the housing dept.
has said that she will sit with me and
help me put all the right answers down.

Also I wrote to the tribunal judge and
asked for a copy of the findings and
the reason I was turned down, as my
consultant wants a copy as does my
solicitor, but I have heard nothing back
from them, can they refuse my request?

Hi Steve

The tribunal can't turn down your request for a statement of reasons but you do need to phone and confirm that they have received your letter, and it must be received within one calender month of the decision letter.

Regards

Derek

Was it DLA or ESA ? I ask because myself and others asked which is was when in other posts you talked of not getting 15 points ? but you never answered the posts ? Also if you don't mind what is your health problem as some like ME CFS often get turned down and people have a long hard fight but do win in the end .. keep on fighting

Many apologies for not replying but I still
find this site hard to navigate, due to
my memory not retaining info.(not one
of my ilnesses) I suffer from osteo-porosis
and Spondulosis in my spine, I have to use crutches to get around the flat as my back and knees are in constant pain, I have had steroid injections and am presently undergoing Acupuncture sessions but none
of them work, I have to borrow an invalid
scooter off one of the residents here to leave the building for appointments (I
live in sheltered accom! Iuse the word
DLA because when I put in my claim it was
December 09! It all seems confusing now
that they change the names of things, hope this helps, thanks for the replies everyone! Steve.

Has your GP sent you to a Pain Clinic ? that might help you get information and input from such a team that might help your claim

No not yet, my GP is based in Scarboro and only
comes to Brid a couple of times a week, he asked me
why I never put down that I have bad Bronchitis, I never knew that I had it!I have to say that I use a walk in clinic at our local hospital, as my old surgery took too long dealing with immigrants and translaters, I would have an appointment at 9-30am
and at times would get seen at twelve o-clock,so now I will take any advice given with respect!
