hi,as some of u know iv been battling with dla for months now.my tribunal was adjorned for emp report as they hadn't got enough information on my care needs.
my second claim i was awarded lrc,no mobility so im appealing this also..
my emp starts diagnosis o/a _ polyarthritis(i have o/a not poly this is inflammatory arthr) :shock:
i can self care on everything ticked all the boxes. ( i now receive lrc )
i have suffered with joint & muscle pain since july 08 ( this is wrong march 08)
didnt write down all my medication missed out cocodomol & ibuprofen.
i walked briskly to door( i was holding onto furniture & wall to steady myself)
mobility yes i do have restrictions outdoors( there we agree on 1 thing)speed of walking 50 metres,stop for pain 30 secs,
likely distance before onset of severe discomfort 200 metres.( told him i was in pain sitting,thats before i try to get up & walk)
no joint deformaty or swelling (he didnt examine me)& no muscle wasting ( have had physio for that& continuing exercises)
at the end of report he puts prognosis good,i would benefit from physio & retraining. a further assessment would be useful in 18months. :shock:
any thoughts any1? does this look like its going against my tribunal.
i dont understand why a further assessment is needed in 18 months if im not to be awarded anything.
sorry this is a bit long winded im a bit worried im gonna get ripped to shreads at the hearing cause of this report.

Hi Debs
This sounds awful for you, you don't need more stress. I think they throw everything at you to put you off trying again. Only suggestion I can come up with is talk to CAB or if you have a DIAL close to you try them. Get as much info as possible from your GP and consultant that will back you up when you try again. It's such a pain but just don't give in.
Good luck with it and try not to let it get you down, I know that's hard.
Love

Hi
I'm with Vonski on this talk to the CAB i think if anyone who is making a claim for anything like this you go to the CAB first they are a great help and in some cases can appoint a person to go to the tribunal with you.

Hi Debs,
Sorry to hear about this. I think though, at your tribunal, once you start telling the correct information about diagnosis etc.. that the dr got wrong on report-this surely will highlight to the folk at the tribunal that 'something's' not right with report. I also agree with CAB advice. Hope it works out well for you,

hi,thanks for all ur replies. the trouble with cab here is i cant get an appointment for 4-6 wks & its too late the appeal is in 2wks.
im gonna try dial again tomorrow & see what they say,see if i can get an appointment with them for nx wk. it least then i'll know if iv got a chance with this appeal.
thank again. debsx0 -
If you cant get CAB or DiAL Welfare Rights advisor until such a date then can you ask for another appeal date if its not to long to wait cos you can tell them you want to be represented and then you will be ready and suported in your appeal try to find the strenght to keep going and the cheek telling you about physio anyway best of luck e]0

Hi debs
This is awful!
Chrisov is right you can get it put off if you can't get reperesentation until a later date. I agree too that they will see the errors as soon as you start to put them right. This then puts into question the validity of the whole report.
Anyway
You have all our backing and do let us know what happens
Take care
