My wife got the news that she is in the support group for ESA, a result for common sense.

i thought they were sorting things out for the real people with illness ,seems to me there getting worse !

Gus, My wife is in the support group not the work related one.

25

sorry billy it looked like i was commenting to your message i am also in support group i was just appalled reading the other message how they gave pip & then took it away with the other hand with someone who has pd if they have found some miracle cure so people get better as pd progresses, maybe they do not understand the word degenerative ! i think the papers would love to get there hands on this maybe pduk could make this happen good press i say .

Hi have been in touch with pd support group they are going to call next week to hopefully change the decision. Your right Gus the people doing the pip don't truly understand the illness, But it can't be easy for them to determine who is lying and who isn't. But I did also prior to going give a full detail of how it affects my life.but the examiner didn't seem to refere back to that at all.

hi ttbn

                    i would have thought this day & age a simple letter from a consultant would enough ,not a gp i understand that would not be enough ,well hope they turn your decision round & happy christmas

The chap who came to do my assessment was a paramedic ! 

Great if you've collapsed or been taken ill as a first point of contact with nhs.   But to assess someone with pd ?...........
