hello
last month i went to my local c.a.b to get them to help fill in application forms for d.l.a
got a letter the other day saying it will take up to 8 weeks for them to decide if they are going to give it to me, anyway got another letter today saying they are going to ask for a report from my doctor, which is further than i got last time, last time they just said no and that was that, but i wonder if its because i got the c.a.b to do it? and they dont mess with them anyway i hope i do get it then i going to see what else i am entitled to, i would rather them give it to me, i spend it wisely than them waste it on stuppid things that the goverment do, anyway fingers crossed i do and if i dont i going to fight it lol

Hi, I got my doctor to write a letter explaining my condition and why she didn't want me back at work and took it with me to the ESA medical. Whilst I was their, they didn't read it and when they sent the medical report form back to me, they said they only went on the ESA doctors evidance and had not taken my GPs report into consideration!!! :x I was really MAD. I'm appealing and my GP is helping me with the forms. Shes very good, but was really annoyed when she read the report I showed her.
Good luck, I hope it all goes well for you. Your're right that they may think twice about argueing with the CAB! If you don't get it then appeal, its often supposed to be more successful.

Funny thing you should say that,this time i went to CAB and they filled forms in for me.Within a week i got a phone call from dla saying they were dealing with my claim.
That didn't happen 1st time...you may have a point about not messing with CAB!! :shock:0 -
I agree
I think any outside agency helping you has to go in your favour because they know what they are doing
Well done Slyvia keep going

Yes Sylvia, good luck, those that need help, deserve help, but we do go through the mill to get anywhere.
I called the DWP today, about another matter and asked out of interest what was happening to my appeal, the very nice lady said, oh, they are still working on it.......I didn't press any more, said a quick thank you and goodbye, leave them to it. :roll:
