IB to ESA Support Group - No Medical Assessment

I really had a terrible time mainly due to the fact that I have such a rare condition, Doctors including over 14 specialists I had seen over 5 years had to 'google' it as they had never heard of it however,after two tribunals and and several appeals I won my last tribunal, got my higher rate mobility back and in addition got lower rate care.No sooner had I won the tribunal, only two months after appealing for support group for the second time, I won that as well.
From the perspective of winning, Atos, etc.. I honestly think that a major part of my winning was the neglectful case they had, even commented on by trubunal head - a lawyer- he had the women from DLA 'in tears' and 'feeling sick' leading to tribunal being suspended for a while. I had threated them with court, but their failures throughout were that many and so basic it was farsical, using medical terminology, reports totally inconsistant, statements were contradictory, there were numerous lies, easily proved, in fact their case was just negligent!
I suffer from Nail patella syndrome (also known as fong disease)chronic pain synrome,chronic fatigue syndrome,allodynia,hyperpathia,lumbar lordosis,lumbar spondylosis,facet joint osteoarthritis,cervical spondylitis, somatization disorder,I have been referred to 3 surgeons for complex limb reconstruction on both ankles,knees,wrists,and elbows.The genetic illness is incurable, most of other symptoms are chronic.
Another part of my winning the case also was the help from this wonderful site, and I cannot thank your staff enough, best wishes... Pete

Well done - can I ask how many weeks you had to wait before getting the decision as I posted mine off 2 weeks ago (which seems like a lifetime) - so any idea of decsion making time would help.

thanx in advance
