B & W BRILLIANT & WONDERFUL

I scored nil points in my ESA medical in July last year. They used that score for my ESA and DLA applications and was told that I could resume work within 3 months.
I was totally defeated, then I found this site. THANK YOU GUYS!
My tribunal was this morning for ESA and DLA and I GOT BOTH! ! ! Higher rate ESA and mobility component DLA. The tribunal people (3) were really fine and with your guidance I simply tried my best and succeeded. I didn't 'dress down' (would have felt wrong)and just told it like it is. Thank you for making it all less mind boggling and therefore achievable.
I ended up with 24 points, with the award for 3 years (could possibly have an operation, so might change things) backdated for 1 year.
Keep at it everyone and good luck, but most of all thank you!

Congratulations Helen, I'm so pleased for you.
like us (my partners tribuneral was last week) you can breath easy, it's such a relief when someone actually acknowledges you are ill...

Nice to hear of a success story - good on you! Does it really take that long. I have just scored 6 points on my medical, which i am outraged at, and just sent a letter of appeal. I feel so low and depressed as I am in so much pain and stunned at the system!

Well done Helen. I hope this some gives encouragement the many people on this forum despondent after a failed medical.

Well done Helen
Take care
