Thankyou

If i don't put in a JSA claim what do you suggest?

Hi all thanks for the advice given some time ago.I appealed and went yesterday but as expected got the letter today saying i'd failed.What happens now will DWP write to me with what happens next? I don't have enough credits for JSA so will probably have to go down there every 2 weeks? until i get enough not sure how these things work after a lost appeal Thanks

Thanks again for the replies

Thanks for the replies.I am going to appeal anyway got nothing to lose.What could i do about supporting evidence? Could i get something from the consultant at the hospital and what type a letter saying what my conditions are and what they mean to me etc etc My GP/s are pretty useless so not sure if they could help. Also anything i could say about them not seeking medical advice from the consultant and people that deal with me? Thanks

Hi all.Found this site whilst searching threads on appeals so thought i'd ask here.I went to my medical in September this year and got a failed letter(like most people) scoring zero points.This is despite the fact i have been sick now for 17 years with Crohn's disease(main illness) and since getting this illness this has contributed to others like osteoporosis of the hips and spine which causes me pain in my back now and again,galbladder problems which though at the moment isn't a problem i've been told i'll neeed to have this taken out sooner rather than later and most recently hyperthrodism.This latest one isn't being sorted at all as i've only seen the specialist once since May even though i've had it for a year now(though i will see another one in 2 weeks time) and it's this one that causes me the main concern at the moment.I am constantly tired which really gets me down.My crohn's even though wasn't too bad at the time of the medical comes and go's and they have put in the assesment that it's not too bad and under control which anyone that has crohn's knows is never the case.They carried out a silly test on me which totalled me laying on the couch and the nurse asking if i could push my leg against her arm/hand(i suppose to test how strong they are?) and that was about it.They never showed the slightest bit of interest really in my conditions just if i could drive a car,go shopping etc etc. On the letter they sent it also says under certain sections like abdominal problem:No current specialist input.Does that mean they haven't even asked my consultant at the hospital that i see anything? It says the same for my overactive thyroid no current specialist input. Finally there is another part.behaviour observed during assesment:The client walked 15 metres normally to the examination couch.The room i had this in(and the examination was miminal) was tiny and the couch was infact only less than 5 metres away.Does that make any difference? I've sent off an apeal and got a letter today to send back to HM courts and tribunal service.What happens about having a representative? I don't know anyone that could help it's not like i could ask my consultant to come along. Sorry for the long-winded thread:!: Thankyou for reading this
