I live in the Durham area and asked for a mandatory reconsideration which was refused in January 2018. I appealed to the Tribunal and every time I contact them the waiting time goes up. I’m currently at 70 weeks and been told I might get a date in August. That works at 18 months without mobility, I was awarded enhanced rate care but only got 4 points on mobility as they said I could drive a manual car and therefore have the power in my leg to walk over 200 metres. I just wish it was all sorted as the DWP had admitted that my condition will deteriorate, I now have 7 disc bulges in lower thoracic, all of lumbar and now S1. I’m not going to give up, I’ve waited this long.
