Hi Kim,

Sorry to hear about this.....I understand exactly how you feel right now but please consider putting in an appeal.

They know many people don't have the energy or the capability to take things as far as appeal - that's why they do this.

If spending some money is an option for you, there are solicitors who can do this for you for fixed fees.

thank you once again for your reply I understand what you are saying but because of my mental health problems I know I would not be able to go to a hearing because when I get really anxious I suffer with panic attacks and that's if I could leave my home to go and everything ive read regarding the appeals it says oral hearings are not successful so I just feel what is the point of going through all that

THANK YOU for your kind words and taking the time to reply
