but they are still denied benefits regardless of our statements.
It can take sometimes a year to win their appeal and they are getting no
income until after they have won their appeal. We have had to seek
assistance from MP's and voluntary rights organisations in order to
appeal against incompetent doctors carrying out the all work test
improperly.
We have a motion to LMC confernce in Brent & Harrow on this subject in
three weeks.
