i had been saying a few weeks back how my son had been put on the work related group even though he has severe epilepsy ,well the news is we appealed via CAB, along with two other strong worded letters from our gp and his epilepsy consultant ,and the letter in today is they have revised their decision and decided to put him on the support group ,to be honest they had no option but it just shows it pays to go to CAB and also pays to ask for letters from all relevant medical personel ....and thank god we dont have to go through the trauma of atos and appeal tribunals ,so dont give up hope if any of you are in the same position ,i cant stress enough ask anyone involved in your care to give some info on your condition and day to day living ,and i hope you all win your appeals as well ......

    thanks for best wishes ,we just all need to stick together and be there for each other through this awful system its totally wrong ,well its wrong for those of us who are genuine but its the ones who have hammed it for years with the fake sore backs that i like to see getting knocked off ,i think if we have a degenerative disease there should be no question at all about it ,i will always support those who have been tossed off the system through bad interviews ect ,hope this nasty atos thing ends soon ,mind you then we all have the dla to go after that :x ...
