Although I can symapathise with your situation greatly we know of quite a few who're better off and that'd include Osem Jnr #2 who's mental disabilities weren't considered an issue under DLA. I hope you get a good result Taf but do get some expert opinion to back up your claim.

Therein lies the main problem I feel. The lack of supporting evidence which is now a major issue for some people who are genuine but for various reasons don't have the supporting evidence. Getting that evidence is crucial!
Anyway Den, it's great that you got the right result and all the worrying in the world wouldn't have changed to outcome.
