scothunter 12,609 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 My brother has had ms for years worked full time up until about 8 years ago when the ms got bad. He had a mobility car to get around. Year ago out of the blue they said he didn't need it and took it off him within 3days. He just accepted it then his Dr found out and told him to appeal and gave him a letter to give to the appeal panel. Got his mobility back week later and backdated money from the time he didn't have it. Agree with others they are heartless. It's double standards when you see the money the politicians receive. £300 a day appearance Money . Taxis to work etc etc And they certainly can afford to pay Thier own travel Costs! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
