Probably is sorry to say, but just remind DWP how many of their staff didn't go to work when we had the bad snow.

Have I been asleep for a long time? When have we had snow severe enough that people couldn't travel? Especially in the last 6-8 weeks?

The OP was meant to attend a medical, perhaps he/she has dis-abilities?

"help"and "benefits" in the same title,this thread could get messy lol.

Good luck anyway.

You don't need to justify yourself on here, being ill is enough of a stress for you, good luck with appeal and subsequent claim.
