Welcome to the community @Frank8888. 17 months is a long time to wait, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Great news about the successful outcome, thank you for sharing it with us! -
Good luck to you it's funny how judges come to decisions. My wife has osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and long list of problems and we had the same thing we were in 2 mins and got asked to wait outside and told us standard rate for care and enhanced rate for mobility. We are 5 weeks in after the tribunal win and are still waiting so hopefully doesn't take too long.
