Cheers bud.

This pisses me off to the extreme! You see these twonks walking around in their 'Gerard No'8' footy shirts and their walking sticks complaning of bad backs but it doesn't stop them going to the pub with their 12 kids runnng round and screaming like banshees while their heffer wives are ordering enough food to sink a battleship plus the DIET coke of course! Not to mention the motability allowance which gets them a free car, costs me a small fortune to run my car, they get free insurance, free tax and servicing and MOT! Don't get me started on the 'my disabled mate can get a car and we'll have it and pay her the monthly pittance' I've told them they won't be insured but do the listen??

This is awfull news,but she will win her appeal,i think.
I have a little inside knowledge,that the goverment have a target of 80% to be taken off DLA,which will get rid of all the fake claims of bad back etc.
The genuine disabled people are getting knocked back at first but will win if appealed against.

I have heard of the 80% business and I agree that a lot of genuine claimants will be knocked back to try and reach this target but I disagree that most will win their appeal. I know of a former ballet dancer that broke her back in an accident and was told by the DWP doctor that she can still do her former job so was not entitled to benefit!
Go figure!

Thats awfull,was it a qualified doctor who has stated that she can still do her job or a muppet from the company the goverment have contracted to do the so called medical examination?

many thanks for putting the source link up

I know not who he worked for apart from he was a representative of the DWP, so prob a muppet!

croc,is she a friend,if so tell her to request doctor/atos enforcements name,and also under FOI act ask to see so called doctors report,some people are finding out that some of the so called ATOS doctors are not permitted to practice as doctors,also ATOS sometimes only use a nurse to assess you.
The main thing is not to be scared off by them appeal,appeal,appeal this will cost ATOS lots of money and so will eat into their companys profit margin.
I don't forget you are watched by cctv from the moment you enter the car park,but better still if you are genuinely bedridden demand they visit you.

dont read mirror full of *********, read daily mail or telegraph

I believe this because the exact same thing happened to my sons partner who lives in Wallasey. The DLA for her 11 year old son was cut off . He has had his right leg aputated below the knee for a childhood illness, but every 2 years he has to go have his stump skin opened and the bone shaved so that it grows right, a very painful debilitating exercise in itself that takes months to heal, so over this time he can't wear his prosthetic leg and is in his wheelchair. The reason given for stopping DLA was he's been like that for over five years now so he should be used to it and hes not disabled enough. She did appeal and was awarded her claim back and some backpay, but it should never have happened to begin with.
It's appalling really, when some people fiddle the DLA for the most of simple things . It makes me so so angry!.

Im alittle confused here, why does a family need an extra 300£ a month for their child with one leg? other than fuel up to the hospital I cant see what else they need it for as everything else is on the nhs.

Not picking sides here, I am on the fence.
