I know its an old thread, but holiday season is upon us and I just wanted to correct the quoted statement.

You have to notify ESA even if you're away for a day as outlined in ESA40 :

Ah! I understand what you mean.



There is no doubt the tribunal awards are edging towards the DWP in contrast to recent years. There was mention of this over on B&W last year about tribunal...

Motability Operations is a not-for-profit company which I believe is backed by the banks. So there wont be any lose to that industry. In fact a few years back, some of the backers wanted out saying...

Yes, I'm aware of the upper tribunal, but both partys can only request that on a point of law. Providing the tribual reached their judgement within the rules laid out the claimant as no chance of...

Blimey, thats harsh. I hope the backdating of the award leaving the claimant overpaid is not a new trend.

The article says it was a tribunal outcome, but the DWP respond with "People also have...

I'm not sure if its any good for your condition, but I'm on Gabapentin (nerve pain, spinal etc). But I take a high dose along with Tramadol and Codeine. I have the mini-bar of drug dispensers -lol !...

Thank you.

I have started the ball rolling :)

I was using the terms JSA and IS in todays context, but yes, I do mean they will cut the new UB either at the point its introduced in 2013 or soon afterwards.

Why do I think that ? Well tinker...

The core savings will come from establishing benefits as a short-term inadequate means of living. Once society accepts benefits in that light, then a reduction in Job Seekers and Income Support will...

The descriptors: what the law says you score points for
9. Absence or loss of control leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or
bladder, other than enuresis (bed-wetting) despite the...

That only apply's for the bourgeoisie. The rest of us have to rattle a tin, buy a dog, penny whistle and blanket :(

I've had the same. They were looking for tumours and VHL. My case is quite unique becasue its linked with a specific cancer, so I get to see the leading ENT guys. All my MRI and CT scans have come...

Use all of that. It is good solid evidence. It sounds like you might have BPPV, its very rare for MRI and CAT scans to show up any issues for vertigo. The letter from your GP to the CAB is also good,...

EON have suggested there is a pecking order. The elderly are first in the queue (although I dont know if this applys to Sir Alan Sugar) and then what's left from the budget we have to fight over.

I'm more concered with the OP's health then their benefit question.

Incontinence and Vertigo can be the signs of something serious and should be investigated for health, not benefit reasons.

Because the DWP have a long and distinguished history of taking an honest persons motives and turning into a life from hell.

For example : Inform the DWP of £1875.89 savings from the sale of a...

There might be a cross wire :) I was responding to PhilH when the DWP asked him to proof who paid for his holiday as below.

Nooooo dont do that, speak to CAB or another benefits advice service. You'll only alert the DWP to your intentions if you ask them direct.

Never poke a sleeping Lion when there are friendly dogs...

Whilst I agree the DWP would want to be satisfied your illness does not conflict with your holiday. Asking for receipts to establish who paid for your passport is not in the regulations. Yes they...

This is more of a technicality, and in previous years (before the benefit system was policed with armed guards), you would not have had an issue with this. Family are allowed to help out, but its...

Have you had caloric reflex tests done ? These are the de facto tests for Vertigo / Meniere's disease.



Have you been diagnosed with rotational vertigo ?



Two things concern me about...

Discharge letters can be (but not necessarily) a problem for ESA, DLA claims Because they now infer 'you're better'. Where as in the past they used to infer 'we have done all we can and its back to...

You will find the DWP (be it the DM or ATOS) will not take incontinence seriously from a GP letter alone unless you have undergone consultations with a Urologist and had Urodynamics tests and a...

Looking through the thread, I'm not sure if the OP is still posting. But it's worth noting that many people who fail the ESA medical are having their DLA stopped as well.

The incidences of this...

Now the disabled have been kicked in the teeth. Clegg has decided the removal of Child Benefit from those earning over £40k is now unfair.

Oh well, back to feudalism, and having my wheat turned...
