suncatcher

Hi i have been waiting for ages heard nothing but had been given date for another medical with esa this time. also got interview with job centre in feb. I phoned today to say where is my money. I have been left without any benifit since my incapacity was taken and only get low rate dva for myself.
The esa say i not entitled not enough contributions hubby gotta keep me the lady was rude and unsympathetic :x
I phoned my welfare rights advocate at first she was in a meeting and the lady who spoke seemed up to date on my case but said the manager was dealing with my case as my lady was on maternaty.
When the manager phoned me she had not read file completly got the facts wrong saying they were not dealing with any tribunal hearing and refered to a past dvla claim. I read out my letter i did get up set, she was saying i was not entitled to anything ect.
I read her the letter she suddenly found the letter and my doctors letter. The lady really appologised and said i promise i will get up to speed on your case. This is the woman who is representing me :roll:.
I will have to wiat sit tight for four months no money. We are still waiting for the board to get back to us to see if will have to go to tribunal or they revese decision. My doctors letter was a really good one. The welfare lady is hopeful about my case.I just have to get a sick note as my other lasts till feb THAT ALL FOR NOW FROM JOANNE

Hi Joanne,

Its just seems so wrong you are being put through all this! I don't much about it but I do think after being caught out the Welfare Rights woman will indeed get up to speed and be better than you fear by the time it comes round. I wish I knew some answers for you but am sending you a (((( )))) and shed loads of hope that they do right by you. luv Cris xx
