Just a shame that someone in your own circumstances could consider others (two of my personal friends) that have also been told they never have to attend a medical again as their conditions were totally incurable and were getting worse,they got called in and passed as fit, only because they are not yet at retirement age.
They like thousands of others are appealing the decisions which is probably costing far more than the swingeing savings that are claimed to be made.
However they aren't your problem are they? Why should they get the same care that you got when you were of working age?

There again Less you miss the point there are thousands of people swinging it, you know it I know it, why is it DLA increased out of all proportions from 1997 to 2008 had people's health suddenly started going down hill quicker or was it something else, are you say that this should be allowed to carry on, people driving round in mobility cars doing their shopping before taking the dog for a five mile walk, maybe if a little more care had been taken before we wouldn't be in the same situation now, money is the easiest thing in the world to give away especially when it isn't yours
