    Hi,

    To constantly re-apply using the same evidence you previously used will very likely see you being refused each time.

    You can be genuine and have a disability but if those descriptors don't apply to you then you won't score the points for an award.

    Have you ever sent any evidence to support your claim? If you have, what evidence have you sent?

    This link will help you know what's in your are for help. https://advicelocal.uk/

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Sometimes it better just to accept 
    what you have been awarded rather than loose it that’s what I did.

    Sometimes it is better to accept that after 4 refusals you just don't qualify?

    @laura7 I believe @Yadnad is speaking about his own personal experience not yours. Good luck.
