New Moderators.

Hello!
*waves at the new mods*

Just wanted to say thank you to Survivor & DepressedDerek for volunteeering your time & expertise & to acknowledge the brilliant work done by Steve Donnison & all the moderators. This site is worth its weight & more in gold;I'm so grateful for having found it before I completed my ESA50 as I am sure I would not otherwise have been successful with my claim.

It's good to be given the opportunity to help out on a forum that has helped me so much.

Hi Everyone

Thank you for a very warm welcome.

I should point out that I am not a former DWP employee as mentioned earlier. I used to work as a computer programmer some time ago, although I am now quite knowledgeable about IB, ESA, and the appeal process.

I would also like to say that I have gained a lot of valuable knowledge from reading about the experiences and difficulties with the benefit system, from other members on this forum, which is something you can't gain from reading guides or studying the law.

I initially became a member just to gain access to the guides and information available in the members’ area. It took me a while to look at the forum and realize how beneficial it is.

Best regards

Derek

Hi All,

Just to add my thanks to Survivor and Derek and all the other mods who do such a brilliant job on the forums.

Without the forums we would still be providing very valuable resources, but it's the forums that give the site its heart and make it more than just a place to get factual information.

And, at a time of such public animosity towards claimants, it's good to have a place where we can feel safe exchanging views and asking questions.

So, once again, thanks to all our moderators old and new.

Steve

Hi All, I agree entirely with steve's comments. This is a brilliant site for advice and information. The forum just makes it that touch better. Best Wishes
