hi thankyou macca and others for your imputs upto date we have phoned the dept of work and pensions about 8 times just to see how far forward the appeal has gone first couple of conversations that the appeal has gone to the descision maker then next few calls each person we spoke to had a different story ,one conversation the guy told me that the appeal would have to go to court and it depended on the courts in our area when the hearing would be this was without even asking me for any of my wifes details ie name ,ni number ,address , password then the other morning we had a message left on the phone that the appeal had been upheld and an emergency payment would be going int our account justice at last NO payment ,after phoning them back to see what had happened and telling them about the message apparently it was passed to another dept afterwards and they declined it anyway exspecting a phone call of the descsion maker tommorow will have to see macca thanks for the advice just one thing when we went to the doctors 3 weeks ago she gave my wife a sick note for 2 months saying unfit for work but when i asked if she could give us some sought of letter regarding my wifes condition she said that she did not do that all she could do is answer any questions the dept of work and pensions asked her i thought at first by keep ringing them it would get them( dwap ) annoyed , but to speak to so many different people in the same dept and get so many different answers its got our backs up so weve descided we are going to ring everyday somtimes twice a day well we will see what tommorow brings will post soon
