Apr. 23rd, 2012 03:42 pmI won my appeal.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It was not as bad as I was expecting it to be, the doctor and the judge were both really nice. They did focus on the questions in the DWP assessment, but also asked general questions to see if they could make my general problems "fit into the law". Which they did. I sort of only just got through - you need 15 points to qualify, and I got 15 points. And there is a bit on the documents they gave me saying that the Tribunal doesn't really have any legal power, and that the DWP can appeal the decision and suspend my payments if they want to. Which my mum and I are both quietly worrying about. But I'm assuming that's just something that's possible, that they have to put on there, and which isn't usually the case.
And I got my ESA. All my crying this weekend has not been in vain!
