    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Tilly I am made up for you, truly. A victory and now, such a relief for you, as Val says, you and many more of us, should not have to endure such trials and tribulations. Take lots of care, relax and breath easy. XX Bubbles

    Hi Tilly,
    I posted on your other thread but I'm just so happy for you! Well done now you can relax a little. Why do they make people jump through hoops though? It's not like we want to be ill :x
    I really hope you can start to feel a lot better soon and that Arthur b*****s off too :lol: xxx

    Very well done Tilly.
    Glad it went well for you, although having to 'fight' for what is
    rightfully yours when you are ill is a disgrace.

    Congratulations Tilly I am so pleased for you. It shouldn't have to be such a fight, I wish it wasn't and feel for those who are still being turned down.

    That's great news for you Tilly!

    Does that mean that you don't have to worry about working for now, or is that to enable you to cut down working hours??

    I don't really know alot about all the various benefits around working but i am interested to find out!

    Can l suggest you get in touch with CAB or dial asap - they are the very best people to help you with your appeal.

    Just to give you hope...a heck of a lot on here who have the strength to appeal have won.

    Love

    Toni

    (hey Tilly :D nice to see you)
