Won my appeal from wrag to SG, i think

I think I have won my appeal and I would wish to thank everyone on this fantastic site, Im sure you were the reason I have been successful.

I was placed in the wrag without a medical but was so sure I should have been in the SG I appealed.

I received a letter to day " A change in the empoyment and support allowance rate payable" and on page 3 " extra money because you are in the support group"

I phoned and it was confirmed I had been placed in the SG but I would have thought I would have received proper notification of the change.

Do not give in if you are certain of your right, I have never been concerned at any stage and have found everyone I have dealt with most pleasant

Hi Lester

Brilliant news and wise advice. Thank you for letting us know.

Kind regards

Michael

Good on you Lester, I'm really pleased for you.

You have always tried to give other members encouragment in fighting for what they are entitled to.

May I ask, was the decision changed at the reconsideration stage, without the need for a Tribunal Hearing?.

If so, what was the timescale involved?.

cheers.

I received my original decision to be placed in the wrag, without a medical by letter dated 26th August, I appealed within 24hrs and received my letter today, changed at reconsideration, dated 4th October, just over 5 weeks.

Well done Lester, that's brilliant news!
