My awards seem to have been based solely on a 13 month old questionnaire. It mostly refers to my immobility being common to the medication (steroids) I'm taking. I've been off steroids for 8 months!
No other evidence was used. No medical person was questioned despite me giving Names and phone numbers of various specialists. One that I've been seeing for 7 years.
The HP did say that we could go through the new up to date evidence I had taken with me but it didn't happen and I was too busy worrying that I might miss the last train back which only had one change to be thinking about what was going on in the interview room.
I do find it odd that he describes my 5ft 4in nearly 17 st frame to be of average build and that solely on watching me walk into the room and sit down he could see I had 50% range in my knees , 35% range in my legs and hips and 10% range of my fingers especially as I was wearing arthritis gloves at the time.
Thank-you for your help I'm going to focus on two areas. My misunderstanding of question 12 and as you suggested explain in detail how Sarcoidosis effects me on a daily basis.
That was something else I wasn't asked to describe what I do in a typical day. I could back this up with several of my clinic follow up letters.
