Dyspraxic Adults

Can i just ask, what problems does your son have due to dyspraxia? Hope they stop being so awkward, get off their lazy asses and get it sorted for him. He has always found it difficult to mix with people he doesn’t know, to the point he would get stressed & anxious for days before having to do this ...

Tribunal day has arrived! Our son has been getting more anxious & stressed as each day closer to the tribunal passed. Just as we were going to leave to travel to the tribunal the phone rang, a voice on the other end said there was no need to attend the tribunal our son had won his appeal & they ...

I took a print out of the symptoms of Dyspraxia, as well as living with dyspraxia when my son went to the job centre. On the first arrival I was told in no un to certain terms that I could not go with my son, I stopped the old battle axe in her tracks by saying “before you go any further he has D ...

Here we go again! Sounds like a song title, I only wish it was! We have just received a copy of the report being sent to the tribunal services for their consideration. Apparently at his work capability assessment he showed no signs of stress or anxiety, they obviously didn’t see the same person we d ...

Update: 02/11/11 The Department of Works & Pensions have started paying him the basic benefit whilst they review his appeal. :banana: In the mean time his GP referred him to see a psychologist who told him he is not mad but he does have a disability, he would write a report to the GP. The GP then ...

The results of his visit to the neurologist are that it looks like he is suffering from a sever form of migrain with aura, probably brought on by stress & anxiety. He was told to try & advoid anything that brings on stress & anxiety (not easy when dealing with the DWP) they are now trying to say ...

It would appear that trying to get a diagnosis as an adult is almost imposable, my son was referred to Guys hospital as a child, we wasn’t told anything at the time & it was only after getting all his medical reports for an ESA tribunal that we found the one from Guys. Apparently he was referred to c ...

The situation is not getting any better! The TIA clinic doesn’t think my son isn’t having mini strokes, but they was concerned with something they saw in one of his eyes, they thought there was pressure behind the eye putting pressure on the brain. He had an urgent appointment to see an oph ...

Well we managed to get him to the first interview (not without a lot of stress) then on Friday morning he came down with visual disturbances, banging headache, & loss of feeling down his arms. We managed to get him in to see the doctor & he can’t understand why he was taken off ESA allowance & was a ...

Here we go again! A couple of months ago he had another self assessment form from DWP which I filled in for him listing all his problems, it was sent back with a copy of information about adults with dyspraxia & the letter from Guys hospital when he was diagnosed. We also told them of dates that he ...

Well we may have won the tribunal but the ESA department are still dragging their heals. :( Rang them today because we haven’t heard anything from them since the tribunal, they said they haven’t had any information from the tribunal & these things take time! We have now sent them a copy of the tri ...

My son who was diagnosed as having Dyspraxia back in the late 80’s had to go to a tribunal yesterday because the department of works and pensions said he was fit to work after his work capability assessment, (he scored zero points) this was despite him going to the assessment on crutches, after b ...

headaches, blurred vision, pins & needles if trying to concentrate hard on doing anything fiddly? Is he on Ritalin or any other prescription drug? I was on ritalin for 10 years, these were the signs of my brain frying itself slowly... Don't mean to scare - I was on way more then than is legally ...

My son was riding a motorcycle up until he broke his ankle last year (no it wasn’t a biking accident he slipped on wet grass) he has always said he can’t drive a car because of it’s size & having to do to many things at the same time. I have taken him out in the wife’s fiesta & he was ok but did misj ...
