My experience thus far !

Nov 2007

Recieved review form at the end of November.

Searched the internet for information.

Checked THT website - nothing mentioned.

Dec 2007

Emailed all interested or parties that maybe able to help including THT.

Link appears on THT main web page

Emailed medics to tell them to expect a request for medical report.

Spoke to DWP about the review. Told (call recorded) that nothing should change they are just updating their records.

Speak to friends and find out they have had benefit removed.

Jan 2008.

Medics inform medical report has been completed and sent back to DWP.

Still searching the internet. Nothing. Find "Benefits & Work" website. Useful but not HIV Specific.

A chance meeting with a Medic at a well known London Clinic told " they {DWP} are being strict on the reviews, many loosing benefit".

Decide to do something to pull in information from those who are, have or maybe going through this. So that we can all learn from each others experience.

Waiting for response !
