Do you think this letter is sufficient to get me in the support group under the descriptor "bladder incontinence"....

The Support Group Descriptor reads
8. Absence or loss of control whilst conscious leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or bladder, other than enuresis (bed-wetting), despite the wearing or use of any aids or adaptations which are normally, or could reasonably be, worn or used.
At least once a week experiences
(i) loss of control leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or voiding of the bladder; or
(ii) substantial leakage of the contents of a collecting device;
sufficient to require cleaning and a change in clothing.
I have underlined the key phrases.

Having read the descriptor I definitely satisfy the criteria, but do you or any other forum members think the consultant has provided enough evidence to put me in the support group.....Feel like Iam grasping at straws because I know how hard it is to pass the WCA from the comments I have read here but its just opinions I am looking for..
Fingers and legs crossed, not that it makes any difference...
