    @sandyp196 the person who assessed you for 10 points on your mobility is qualified to do so this is why you was seen by a qualified assesser, The DM is not qualified push for the 10 back you was given .

    Wishing you lots and lots of good luck @Toffee, let me know how you get on. I agree with you, so much more stress than is necessary all because someone who’s never met you forms an opinion based on someone who’s met you for a hour tops! It’s a joke!

    Honestly @Toffee it’s flipping ridiculous! Just so unfair that the people who need the most help get the worst treatment. Take care sweetie xxx

    So happy it went ok @Toffee even tho you shouldn’t have been sent there in the first place. I’ll look at the website you recommend. Had my fortnightly meeting at the drug and alcohol support place this afternoon, I go for morphine/codeine addiction, and they were so supportive. They want me to go weekly if I can to get the support and a safe place to talk. And the sun was shining today! xx

    I feel for you @Toffee its horrendous same happened to me a few years ago, i thought i was going nuts.
    I ended up applying for jobseekers as advised then they overturned my decision it was really stressful upsetting to be honest made me ill.
    Good luck keep us posted.
