"The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'"
-Larry Hardiman-
Republicans: Think everything should be illegal except firearms,
Democrats: Think everything should be legal except firearms.
Republicans: Think big business should foot the bill for everything
except taxes,
Democrats: Think big business should pay everyone's taxes

Appeals Service
Being turned down for a benefit? Find out what you can do about it, what your rights are, what the next step is. Don't assume that because they turned you down there is nothing you can do about it. You have several options
The process for appealing is not easy & I recommend you get some independent advice & assistance from the CAB. I myself have used them to assist me in my appeal when I was turned down for my DLA (Disability Living Allowance). Without their support I woudn't have won my appeal. Soon as they turn you down contact your local CAB & let them assist you. Do not delay as you only have a limited time to appeal
.TSM highly recommended.
