Heard-it-all-before, Are you getting any support from the RBL? If you are, then ask them the possible time frame for your case!

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. I'm being represented by the RBL and their letter said that cases are usually dealt with within 6 months, but as they're probably quite busy at present I was just wondering if anyone had any recent first hand experience with time frames.

I've sent them their form back with availability so I'll just have to sit tight and wait..

Thanks for your replies

Thanks

3 months for me - but that was in the early/mid nineties.

... hopefully you won't be caught in Ainsworth's debacle.

The RBL is so busy due to the way the MD's are being done. If the issues were addressed at the Medical Board then there would be less people needing to appeal their compensation or war pension. If there are any journalist reading this thread, please read all of it and then ask why aren't they changing this deflunked system....

Nothing thick in asking mate, as if you haven't been through the mill you wont know how shite it is.

From my perspective I'll sum it up: 24 years service and when I was invalided out the Agency Doctor who came to assess me took a whopping 30 minutes to do so, most of which was spent looking at his watch and moaning about how long it took him to get here and how long it'd take him to get home. 30 minutes, I've seen knackered old Land Rovers getting longer and more thorough disposal inspections than what I got.

It that doesn't give you a clue, go back to the start of the thread and read some of Hitbacks posts and proposal's to make it better.
