    That is excellent news! I am really pleased for you. It is unfortunate that you had to endure so much stress to receive the award you deserved, but your experience offers hope to others in similar situations.

    thank you, yes it has been a long stressful journey, but if I won my award it can be done, doctors support many letter off surgeons. When you are ill and struggling it’s the last thing you need to go through, so I wish all the best to people in need of support.

    That's brilliant. You're right no-one should give up. I had to go to tribunal (18 months), by the DWP presenting officer reassessed my application so at the start of the tribunal I was awarded standard for both, so the whole thing was over in about 15 mins. As well as the back pay, I got missed Christmas bonus, and cost of living payments.
