A BIG thank you to all of you on here, especially the mods and admin team!

I won my appeal at tribunal yesterday. 6 points to 15.... The judge stopped it after 1 question from the doctor, once it was apparent that I was actually more confused than the bumbling doctor - who had less of a clue than I did. Was in there only about 15 mins.
At decision time she said there was no point in continuing as I had reached the number of points needed.

A HUGE thank you to my "representative". You know who you are, if you read this :D

Also I did a tribunal a few weeks back as a representative as we won that one too!!

I hope this is some inspiration for everyone to keep going with it, especially to my fellow ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia sufferers. You really can get thru it!!

ESA down DLA to go.

Thanks again

That's brilliant, Ria.

I hope you continue to enjoy your glow of satisfaction for many weeks!

Thanks for letting us know. We hear a lot about people's concerns since people come here for help, but I think it always helps for people to be reminded that it is possible to get the benefits to which people are entitled.

Well done Ria - it's always good to hear that claimants are being awarded ESA & especially so for those of us with ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia. It gives hope that this truly debilitating & disabling illness is begining to be taken more seriously.
Best wishes
