Just to let you know we just got back from a very long and stressful appeal and the result was better than we thought. I got my higher rate mobility back and they raised my care to the middle rate AND all this is backdated to 2008. They also changed the original expiry date from July 2010 to July 2012.

After the hell of the last 19 months I really want to remind people to NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!!! Thanks for your good luck messages and vibes, they obviously worked. I'm going for a nap now I'm a little pooped!!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I am so relieved to have this finally finished. To Ian and Dotty and anyone else who has a tribunal coming I send you all the luck in the world and a little extra on top!
