Have CLL Chronic Asthma autoimmune haemolytic aenemia panic attacks vertigo incontinence amongst others I am wondering if I should risk asing for review. At renewal supersession I was awarded my HR Mobilty again but went from HR Care to low rate care. Welfare Rights Worker feels it may be best to leave it as HRM may be taken away, (shes having a lot of problems getting DLA for clients with brian tumours). Motability lease runs out July, wont renew as I will have to use HRM for my care, so no car will have to try to walk to shops or get the bus now! They sent a Atos doctor my GP's report was very unspecific. Haemotology nurse wrote in support. I cant risk losing HRM & LRC, should I see a new rights worker. Its the cuts no doubt :S

The standard information that is given to members where there may be a risk to their subsisting entitlement when challenging a benefit decision with which they are dissatisfied, is recorded HERE.

If you are unhappy at the explanation that your WRO has given about your award of DLA, you are entitled to seek an opinion form another WRO (if you can find one)?

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

Thx the WRO is employed by a cancer charity & based at a CAB, I would say from our 1st meeting & our conversation today advising her of my award she was hardly supportive! Rang Blackpool and asked for all the evidence, was told they can only send copy of the award letter :p after pressing hard they agreed to send it to me, wrote a letter of complaint to B'pool if this is the info they are giving out its entirely wrong and less persistent claimants may accept the advice given! Will see what it says as I have chronic fatigue through my blood cancer I need daytime and night care.

As above I had problems getting the DLA unit in Blackpool to agree to send reasons for decision. In fact they have just sent me the examaning ATOS doctors report most of which is unreadable and contradicts what I said. So far the WRO from Macmillans at the CAB hasnt returned my calls.
