My sister has cp and has just been assessed for the new benefit scheme. Her enhanced level for mobility has been taken away. I am gathering together advise and information to help her appeal, unite and speak out for those with physical disabilities who are being discriminated in this new assessment.

Hi @Rebecca, welcome to the community and well done for your lovely role model posture.
I am fighting for my own case of my medical condition and I have to mention it is loooooooong process which requires lots of patience and strength.
It is nice to have south a Brave sister. Well done to you.
Ask @BenefitsTrainingCo for advice on process of help available.
I hope you and your sister will find some chilling moments to celebrate Easter.
Happy Easter to you

You'll find many people on here are going through the process - so I hope you can find some useful advice.
We also recently put together some tips for appealing:

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
