    Can't help but bumping it up in the hope that someone can.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    As far as i am aware, they do right to your doctor and occasionally your consultants too, they try to get as much evidence as possible together to make a decision on your claim..
    Wish you luck.

    I'm on an appeal and received my bundle of papers last week. Still wading through but found a letter to my consultant requesting information about my condition. This was four years ago after my first application. I didn't know they had done that but reading his reply now it confirms my condition at the time.

    (I was on DLA but they knocked me off).

    Hi - I replied yesterday but I don't think I pressed the right thing (ho hum). Wanted to say yes I'd let them know you have more paperwork. Also have you had a look at the DLA leaflets on this website? Lots of help 'out there' for DLA and its free (I know a certain webste charges for the info, but it is all 'out there').
    Are you going to appeal in person Linda? You can take someone with you.
    They are stinkers at the moment, not the individuals persons the whole political background.
    Best wishes
