Hi all
I hope you are all coping as well as you can. As you know from previous posts I have been battling the DWP to be placed in the support group. Last week I enlisted the help of my Welsh Assembly AM here in Gwent. Today I recieved a phone call telling me they had made a mistake and were indeed placing me in the support group for the maximum 3 years without medical interviews. This is a great relief to me as this stress seems to be making the pain worse. I hope everyone else in this position can also get the end result they deserve and indeed need, have a good day,
Den.

    Stress always makes things worse. That's a good result, welshgooner, and I'm pleased for you. My own Mobility Allowance was messed up years ago when someone put one number down and someone else read another :roll: Well done on sorting it out.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
