Lcwra WCA - Felt like assessor was answering for me

Virgo_ · July 2

thank you ,I’m not sure how I send everting across to them , like I said I’m not hoping for a miracle I know it’s generally low chances of getting it overturned . But i want to just show

Proof of certain situations along with my letter than I’m just finalising , I’d be very surprised if it changes anything but I also don’t want to send everything as I’ll have so much more evidence for the tribunal, thanks for your help , x

sorry I thought I replied last night . I felt so bad I cried then just tossed and turned thinking I need to say this and that . I then got out of bed at 3am made a coffee got my iPad back out and wrote up a 5 page letter of how things effect me etc and Joe I didn’t feel like I’d explained it all properly ,

I even also for about 5 letters that back it all up that I knew they couldn’t or don’t have certainly didn’t mention them even if they did , then at 9 o’clock my coach worker updated my journal so I could upload all the letter and evidence so by 10.30 it was all sent back ,

I know it’s probably not a good idea without seeing the assessors report before hand , but I had already felt like she has put words in my mouth , I get I didn’t mind at the time but overall it’s my words that matter mot anyone else’s , anyway I’m not expecting much to come of it , but I’m glad I’ll have it ready for my tribunal, and even when it comes round to that I’ll have more supporting evidence, I be heard most of them don’t even look at any added paper work just keep it at same decision but hey ho least it’s on record . Thanks for the support guys , hopefully I’ll sleep perfect tonight xx

Hi @Virgo_ I've just been catching up on this. Bless you, you've been through an ordeal with this!

The more information, the better in my opinion - you'll be as informed as possible ready for that tribunal. 💪 Really pleased you're feeling like you're able to rest tonight.

yes it’s just a headache 🤕, and feel more annoyed that you feel like your having to prove yourself all the time , I can only wait and see what comes back from the MR , I really doubt any progress that will benefit me , but because I’ve waited for so long throughout the whole situation I’ll happily wait longer now , I think that’s why I was so vexed about it , I fit highly into at least two of their descriptions, so it shouldn’t be so hard to have your disabilities recognised. It’s meant to be a work assessment and yet they ask about cooking etc , it’s bizarre , but either way I’m ready now to take it to the next place . My head has now dealt with the lcw , so anything at this point would be a bonus but I certainly won’t be holding my breath ,

omg I can’t tell u how fantastic this news is , I was getting ready to prepare for a tribunal , so this news was unexpected as I was expecting the worse , considering how many they don’t overturn , but yes thank you very pleased I’ll sleep better tonight it’s taken a while but worth the wait ,

It will be 9 weeks tommor that I’ve waited . I also did complain

To serco in regards to what information they had used as it didn’t reflect my situation at all , it’s funny how it got all mixed up to what they want it to look like , anyway it’s done now and I just wanted to scream it from the rooftops , my anxiety has been going through the roof xx
