    Hello @joyclyn
    sorry to hear of your distress... 
    I'm not an advisor so I can only offer reassurance that things are improving again so you might be pleasantly surprised 
    I hope things are resolved in your favour asap

    Hi @joyclyn, and welcome to the community!

    Sorry to hear about your situation- the appeals process can feel really worrying and overwhelming at times, but we'll do our best to reassure you and offer advice. 

    Do you have an appeal date yet? It's difficult to predict how long the process will take or whether it will happen any quicker now, but we can help you to prepare. I'd advise having a read of our guidance on DWP appeals and coming back to us with any questions- we'll help and advise wherever we can!
