Hi, Thanks to everyone who has given advice, and explained things too. They don't seem to realise that its peoples lives they are messing with, when they just stop money and then don't bother to explain things. I just want to wish everyone else good luck with their claims etc. Its lovely and a godsend to be able to have a forum like this to share problems. Dawn Xxx

Hi, To be honest I don't understand the letter, cause one part of it said I don't qualify for the Limited Capability WRAG, but them over the page it said I'll be reviewed this time next year to see if I still qualify. So would I be in the Limited Capability wrag or just the wrag ??

Hi, I received a letter this morning saying that I am now in the Work Related Activity Group. For the psst 10 years I've been claiming Incapacity Benefit, and then it changed to ESA. My case came up for review and I had to complete a form about my illness etc again. I suffer with Pelvic Pain, Depression, Thyroid Problems and Arthritis. I am also taking morphine for my pain along with about 11 other kinds of medication, and this morning my letter said that they've made a decision and I am now in the Work Related Activity Group. I have never had to appeal before, but does anyone think I have a good enough claim to do so, I would appreciate some advice please.

Hi, I've just read your post, and i'm sending you all my love my darling. Like the other post said take someone with you for moral support on the day, and just tell them the truth about how it affects you on a daily basis etc, Over exaggerate it too, to a certain degree if it helps getting the point across. And don't feel ashamed to cry either. I haven't been to a tribunal so i really don't know what goes on, but i may have to go to one also soon. But good luck and i hope it all goes well. Dawn xxx

Hi, the same thing happened to me last month. I was on the Incapacity Benefit for many years, then last year it changed to Employment Support Allowance. Last month i received a letter saying all my money had stopped as it was only a 365 day contribution. I'm not sure what Benefit it is you are on, but since last year i have been having interviews every 3 months at the Job Centre with an adviser, i rang somebody there and they then sent necessary forms out to me, i filled them in and sent them back. About 2 weeks later my money was reinstated. So my advice is to ring the Benefits Office and get them to explain it to you, or if you also have been seeing people at the Job centre ring them too. I had all money refunded to me while i was waiting.
