Thanks all. I called the DWP today and spoke to a very helpful man, i felt human again instead of feeling i was being talked down too. He explained alot and what i need to do, some of the information i already gathered from here aswell. So i will be starting the "magic roundabout" as someone said as of today. So round 2? haha. I just wish the people who do the claims could feel what i do, be in my shoes for one day and see how they like seizures. I know it's their job i don't hold personal issues with them, i just still think the system is not right for everyone. But anyway, thanks all. I will keep visiting to see other stories.

Ok guys just seems like alot of messing around, maybe i shud just find a job, have a fit on the way to work or at work get severly injured and sue someone...seems to me that's what they want? Joking aside, the system is broken, real people who are poorly being removed for false reasons.

Hello all. First i would like to say that i recently (today) got a letter from the tribunal for a failed decsion. Of course this was a shock for me. I currently have epilpesy and have fits and blackouts at least once a week and infact 3 since friday just gone. I also have a pacemaker which helps cardular vasular disease. I am a male and 30 years old. Orginally i went to a "medial assesment" back in october last year, they scored me 6. I was not happy because the examiner lied on the form saying i was able to move arms above my head , unzip my coat, open doors and she also said i had no physical signs of disabilty on my exo skeleton. Of course, i was wearing a t shirt, didn't get asked to move or bend my arms, she opened all the doors and my condition is not something you see from looking at my..exo skeleton. I wrote a 7 page piece for the original appeal explaining this aswell. Now with my epilespy is very frequent, too frequent, and my pacemaker makes me fatigued and a slight loss in moving my left arm above my head. Yet this ATOS examiner did not ask anything about any of this. Edit: I also would like to say she didn't look at me hardly, she was glued to the computer and i feel she wasn't really qualified in my illness area, she just seemed like the lights were on and nobody was at home. Appeal failed. I took the appeal to tribunal with updated doctors records, hospital records, a covering letter from me and also how the doctor had wrote about my conditions. Today it came back FAILED. I can't understand why they think this would be acceptable. I literally fall into a seziure every few days, i had my driving license revoked, i am unable to venture in public transport on my own, cannot lift above head and side effects of tablets are chronic insomnia. I also have limited time on computers as it will cause headaches leading to fits, if i am not careful. Has anyone had a similar issue, what do i do now? I just feel like the original ATOS dr looked at me sitting in the chair, clicked her mouse and pressed some keys, and i was ok, apparently.
