    Quick update Still haven't received official benefit letter 2 weeks after telephone assessment. Been stuck in hospital since Monday after having six seizure in a forty minute spell and nearly stopping breathing. But you guys enjoying the sun and I'm in air controlled bay just not fair lol. Hospital really affected by covid. This ward is normally rammed more than half empty now.

    @katho31. I imagine this is so frustrating! Have you asked for a copy of the report? This could give you an indication about what result to expect. Here is some information about how you might be able to access financial help due to the current situation.

    I really hope you don't have to wait much longer. Please do let us know how you get on and if there is anything else we can do to help.

    Hi@Kath31 Sorry to hear you still haven’t heard anything, it’s a long time without an assessment, unless they are deciding without a f2f I don’t know how that goes or if they do that but hope you hear something real soon.
