I heard that the figure was 75% in Wales and ****% overall in the UK that had their appeal granted.

A drop on the 83% but still a massive figure of the DWP being found to be wrong.

Correct. A message to fight is always appreciated but let's remember that many people have conditions which prevent them physically or mentally from being able to fight. Advice and representation is key.

And there be the problem Mike.
Salford and the surrounding area of Manchester is extremely well represented by yourself. But there are many areas that do not have any charitable organisations of that quality. In my area there is one CAB that is so busy that it can be weeks before you are given an appointment which generally means that the time limits set by the DWP have been exceeded. There are other agencies (the likes of AgeUK & DISK) who, to give them credit, try to do a good job but once again with limited experienced staff they too are unable to cope. Then we have the 'do gooders' who portray that they are good at representation at hearings only to find that the claimant is generally more knowledgeable and clued up than they are. I know of one organisation of this type that has caused more damage by being involved.

Put it bluntly, good advice centres that are able to give that quality advice in a timely manner and offer a representation service are extremely thin on the ground - it is a post code lottery!

Many of us that are unable to fight through illness and disabilities without outside help, advice and assistance are left by the wayside and give up as I have done.
