Hey!!!

So, I have anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. DWP assessment (ESA) was a shambles and focused more on my appearance than my illness (perhaps a crush? Lol).

Tribunal was today. I called this morning, said I couldn't bring myself to go so they were going to call at 4pm instead.

Well, 12pm today and I get a call - instant panic mode! It was the clerk who informed me that the tribunal was cancelled because they had looked at the evidence and put me in the support group! I was actually trying just for the WRAG so you can imagine my amazement.

6 months of stress, tears and panic. It's all over. £3000 backdate and weekly money increased. Thank you to this website. All of my tribunal evidence was gathered by using these guides. I used the submission templates too. I do have a knack for persuasive writing so that may have helped.

Thank you thank you thank you!

That's great news Marie, thanks for letting us know :)

Well done for sticking with this until you got what you deserve.

It can take DWP around 8 weeks to action this and get payments started, you might be able to speed this up by sending them a copy of the decision letter.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
