I cried when I watched this as I know how true it is. I  recently helped a sufferer to fill in form but I just know they will be turned down, even though they are genuine. If they were not genuine I certainly wouldn't have spent the time with them helping.
Have heard nothing yet but will go to the assessment with this person when they called in.
