I got a lovely letter from the DWP this morning. Personalised and everything. No really, they'd put a tick in the support group box and left the WRAG box empty and everything.
But seriously. I went through hell to write in detail about my impairments, and the effect it has on my day to day life, ironically the process itself causing me more problems. I followed guidance, sought help from anyone and everyone who would give it. I answered the form to the descriptors and not the questions.
I wasn't called for a medical with ATOS, despite their targets for getting as many people as possible through their doors. My form was read and considered, and my request to be put in the support group was upheld.
See, there are humans in that place after all.
Good for you. About time someone had good news. I am on the last day of CESA and i will be 'exhausted' tomorrow. My other half works so i will get zip, nothing ,nada. but suprisingly i will still have the brain injury that put me out of work in the first place.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the scary news about the sanctions being levied on WRAG claiments im glad i am exhausted to be honest. Not one person who is involved with my case, drs support workers, neuro phsyc etc and the DWP expect me to ever be able to get a job and if i do be able to stay in work due to my problems, but i was put into wrag as i didnt fit enough of the descriptors for support group.
Any news on your appointment yet?
I always take a sneaky peak at your blog!
