Full details are found, at the moment, on the about us page on the main web. I keep this diary so you can see the work done by the team on our behalf.
Anne McGuire, Minister for the Disabled, has responded.
Albeit through a member of the DWP correspondence team as it is "not always possible for her to reply personally to everyone who writes to her". I will be uploading the response to the documents page on the web today.
To highlight some points
- Applies to claims awarded over three years ago under "Special Rules".
- Follows the recomendations of the DLAAB "Special Rules Study" after discussions with various groups representing disabled people. Terrence Higgins Trust in our case.
- It was agreed that the initial enquiry. To medical health personnel. Would be addressed to the HIV consultant.
- With only ONE medical report requested at the outset.
- The issues I raised with respect to the introduction of the Employment & Support Allowance warrant a separate reply ?????
I note that they included my NI number on the response. Though I didn't give it in my initial letter. I assume they have pulled my file. It will be interesting to see what happens to my claim going forward.

Great to see this blog up and running, usefull websites, links and information. Isn't this what the £36k a year drop in center staff should be doing instead of us having to fight ourselves.
