Hi! I'm new to mn as you can probably gather and have been hooked on the appeal threads for weeks since receiving secondary allocation.
I've submitted my appeal and finally recd date for hearing in 3 weeks.
I've kept it quite factual,appealing on medical/social grounds and have supporting doc evidence, son has aspergers and anxiety.
However, there are factors that I consider relevant such as me losing a baby, two grandparents dying, his grandad dying, his dad moving 7 times in 7 years and on 3rd engagement ( we split up when he was 2) very bad relationship with his dad, gets so upset seeing him once a week, all made his anxiety really bad. Is it worth mentioning these types of things? My dad said no but other people said yes.
Sorry for such a long post, this appeal has made me quite ill, mentally, doctor prescribed tablets for anxiety, it took a lot for me to go docs, I'm normally a good coper.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me.
