Hi,

I have just had a call from someone in Bristol who has recently failed the LCWA after being migrated from Incapacity Benefit.

Unfortunately I don’t think I’d be allowed to claim the travel expenses to go and see him from Leicester!

He lives in Coombe Dingle.

Does anyboday have an idea of where he could go for help with his appeal.

Thanks
