    Were these appointment letters or medical reports?

    Reports from where you see your consultant on the day and they say about the appointment

    I am having talking therapies with my therapist who I have seen 3 times every other week, it may help a tiny bit but still have my panic attacks.

    She gives me booklets about it and I read through them.

    I am waiting to my universal credit health work assessment mandatory reconsideration and I wrote everything on my journal

    I'm glad your therapist has been able to offer some support, I really hope that continues to be helpful and that you don't have to wait long for UC. Please do let us know how you get on. :)

    I'm not sure why you were told this because there's no timescales for any decision. MR's can take anything up to 10 weeks, sometimes longer.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    The person who I spoke to she looked at my details on my  account and said that it says on there that someone is looking into it and be ready by next Thursday I will hear. Then if I don’t here by next Thursday then I have to ring them again and they will escalate it that’s what they told me on the phone.

    Hi everyone I did my universal credit extra payment appeal, they are doing it urgently as the situation I am in, as I can’t work as I’m in chronic pain, so hopefully this week or next week will be the appointment for the telephone hearing and have it within a couple of weeks hopefully, depending what’s happening.
