I'll check with him about what the appeal is based on - he has got legal representation though, so presumably the guy has something to work with.

Thanks people, that's really helpful, I'll tell him about reclaiming. Knowing we aren't alone is good too. The whole system is screwed it seems, if only the DWP would stop treating the sick as scroungers and give some decent support then more people would be back into work - especially people with depression and illnesses that are stress-related or exacerbated by stress, which the system just adds to. My partner had a back injury at work, which is why he was originally off sick - now he's on anti-depressants and not eating because he's so on edge the whole time ... not that he can afford to now anyway.
-
He failed the WCA, then the first appeal, despite having all the right medical evidence - so now he's going through the "appealing against the appeal finding" thing.
-
The messing about from the DWP has gone on for so long now that he's up to his limit on crisis loans - there just doesn't seem to be any way out at all.

Can anyone give me any advice on what to do when the DWP have left someone with no money at all pending a second appeal. My partner (we don't live together) has had no money at all this week, which has meant that apart from having no food, gas and electricity he's also having to miss a court date where the local council are trying to prosecute him for non-payment of council tax despite him having been on full Housing Benefit for the period they're claiming for!
