Wondering how you are progressing with your tribunal seasider? Thanks to brilliant advice from a very special person, DH's appeal was upheld within 2 minutes of his hearing yesterday!! They were very nice to us and the judge, recognising DH's not inconsiderable health issues said he just wanted to extend every good wish for his future. But the DWP denying in writing that his appeal was justified and claiming that a "health professional" knew best when they had clearly no idea of the severity of DH's stated illness, beggars belief. ATOS healthcare are simply not fit for purpose and the stress and anguish this has occasioned has affected both of us. We found it impossible to contact CAB by phone and DH ended up "doorstepping" them on one of the coldest mornings of the year and because they are short staffed too, they were unable to provide a "benefits expert" until 2 weeks after the tribunal. What absolutely clinched it was, I think, the advice we were given regarding the nature of the appeal and the necessity of corroborative evidence even although a "health professional" i.e. the assessor from ATOS shoudl have had the nous to look up DH's illness if she didn't know what it was! I have gone on at length, I am afraid because it has had a massive effect on both of us - DH has felt ill, had trouble sleeping, I have been stressed and also had difficulty sleeping largely because the whole wretched process has made us face DH's health problems and his prognosis from a closer perspective instead of dealing with each day as it comes and crossing bridges as we come to them. Good luck!
