Hi furball I hope you have recovered from the ordeal of you appeal last week and once again congratulations!
I have my appeal on Wednesday! Terrified!! So any advice that you think may help would be welcome..
My key points were ( as people have stated on this thread ) that a lot of us struggle with repeating ,say , walking 50m or that preparation of a meal is possible but not always & ,myself would prefer someone around as I can get extremely forgetful . My mobility has become more of an issue but they took it from when the claim was 1st made & was slightly better then. They asked me about getting dressed to which I replied that as 6 out of 7 days I don't leave the house I rarely get dressed, I have no hobbies as I either physically can't or my mind won't allow me to concentrate , be that even tv, Internet or reading. I'm lucky as if my housemate is away for periods of time my neighbours always pop over, text or call to see if I'm ok.
I talked about all the things I'm trying or have tried to get better from Chinese tablets to starting hydrotherapy this week through the nhs. They'll go through the form u filled in ( I have to confess that I made a mess of mine ) I told them ( truthfully ) that this form really made me realise just how foggy my brain had become, it was a real chore .
Try not to worry too much, just concentrate on getting there & I'm sure it'll go fine.
Firestorm - I have it until march 2014 I think , I'm hoping ill be ok by then but if not ill cross that bridge when I get to it.
Thanks again everyone, I'm venturing out on Wednesday , dentist.... Can't wait lol
