Hi everyone
Just had my letter for my Appeal, "refusal for DLA"... gutted aint the word, feel such a fake and liar, and that tablets I take daily to control my pain are just sweets, the fact I'm in pain all the time, and my osteo arthritis is just a regular cold to them, sorry I'm so angry and upset!
I know I'm not the only one who is suffering and that there are worse people than me out there, so sorry for moaning.
I don't know what to do next, if to appeal the decision or to reapply for DLA again as a fresh claim.
As they said at the tribunal that, I'm being judged by my condition from march 2010 to Sept 2010, and I've gotten worse in the last year! I think the reason crap, but them is the rules.. pisses me off(sorry) !
How can that appeal board sleep at night I don't know, but guess there not suffereing like the rest of us !!!
thanks

Sorry hun, I'm rubbish with things like this, but I did want to send you a huge hug as you sound so fed up, and rightly so.
I'm sure the experts will come along with some wonderful advice, but I'm always good for a hug or two._______________________

I'm sorry too. It has been a year so I expect they can get away with the decision as it is really hard to prove how you were back then. Would you want to do a fresh claim based on how you feel now? I don't expect you can backdate the claim at all can you so you've lost a good few months. I am sorry and upset for you.

Oh Tilly
To say Im sorry is an understatement..I am fuming for you, and sick to death of these people treating you and others like this.
All I can say is if it was me , I would appeal again till they get tired of seeing or hearing from me,
Have you been to cab, or even get your MP on the case, just find out if there is a surgery nearby, or write a letter, Im not keen on emails when it comes to MPs.
I know you must be felling so down at the min and ready to give up, but please we are all behind you, don't let them win.Love

bloody hell. Make me so angry..
I just wish they could spend a day in our shoes.. It's a horrible thing hun
I've recently posted my 'form' off for re-assessment.. Dreading the outcome..
I've got so much worse these past couple of yrs but haven't dared re do my claim even though I now need more help in case it rocked the boat so to speak. Heard so many horror stories..
Good luck whatever you do mi dear.

I am so sorry to hear you were refused...makes me so mad...they dont know what pain we go through...its so hard on you, no wonder your fumming...poor love
Just remember your not a fake and a liar, they are wrong not you!!! I was refused DLA before i was awarded it, 3 years ago, when i applied for degenerative discs disease in my back, i think they refuse everyone first time...or so it seems....but i appealed and won That was before any arthritis started lol...
Good luck sweety, let us know what you decide...know that we are all behind you
Hugs Love Senna xxxx0 -

Take care

Take some time out to regroup and rethink, I have no advice as I am not in that situation but I am very sorry. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

I am so sorry tillypink its so wrong.
I was worried like tony about saying I was getting worse in case they refused me on review so I sent in the forms to say I was the same as before. The ESA form is harder as you have to fill oout more but my GP support letter was really good and I am much worse with loads of other issues now.
Its wrong when we need the support and are too scared to say anything in case were refused on review and for people like you tilly who need a bit of help and cant get it. Youre not a fraud honey they just have no idea and if I was a Greek goddess I would smite them all... sorry been doing classics with my daughter But its not a laughing matter really.
I wish you well and a few hugs (((())))

Dont know what to say to you that will make a difference to how you are feeling,maybe if they spent sometime chasing the bxxxxxds that are screwing the system you would have had a fairer hearing.stick with it and let us know how you get on.Mig0

I am so so very sorry for you, I'm not surprised you'r upset. :shock: I wish I could offer some good advice but I'm afraid I don't know about dla. Maybe your CAB office can suggest something helpful. Lots of love, Sue xxxxx ((((()))))0

Im so sorry to hear this, but mines the same, have had dla for several years but this year they refused to award the care component, had it at the low rate, then they gave me middle rate which meant my daughter can be down as my carer... but new rules now wont allow me any care component luckily i can keep my mobility for a couple more years... i have appealed been turned down, appealed again... turned down again... had the medical guy come to the house and act like a friend... i didnt play his silly game... just was myself, but now its going to tribunal as he wrote usual day to day stuff down that i could do... stoopid man wants to live in my shoes for a day!!
fight for your right!!!love and hugs0 -

Hi, I just don't get it. David (I understand the disabled )Cameron promised that genuine people would not suffer but he seems to be just interested in getting the numbers down.
The whole government live on cloud cuckoo land. If they're disabled they hire people to do things for them, us ordinary folk don't have that option.
If I was a nasty person I would smite them all down with something horrible even if it was only temporary.
I would keep applying/appealing, common sense surely will have to prevail.
Sorry not much help, I know how draining the whole process is.
Take care0
