Walking distance & stops

I have a medical report which states alternately that the client can walk 100m then states that she could only manage to walk 18m after a 30 second stop - grounds for an appeal for an award of support group?

Also bear in mind her GP submitted a letter saying her condition is deteriorating and she was awarded support group, as she could not walk more than 30m, 10 months before this new ‘medical’.

Thanks

Many thanks,

We are pretty confident that she is not going to lose LCW, the porr woman is in a very bad way. I think I am going to have to go for it really given the circumstances.

The idea she might return to work one day is, unfortunately, pretty laughable.
