Message: [QUOTE="MrShanklysboots, post: 3641646, member: 16689"] DWP GAH! Help. Can someone from here tell me how - having had my Medical post discharge for War Pension I was assessed at a certain % disability and then a few weeks later I receive a letter from the Military Pensions people saying I have been - without recourse to another medical - been reassessed at half that %? To further muddy the waters the War pensions people say that as far as they are concerned I'm still at the original % and have no idea why I have been "re-assessed" yet when I phone Glasgow I can't get a straight answer to the question! Even worse this is two arms of the same department! I have no issues with the lower assessment if that is where I should be, but surely I should have some sort of formal re-assessment? And if that lower percentage is where I should be then surely I am being "overpaid" with my War Pension? Please help someone as I'm disappearing up my own hoop - and this has been ongoing since December! So the net question is this. How can two arms of the same department have the same person with the same presentation assessed at two widely differing levels of disability as a result of the same Medical board - and consequently leave me in the position of not knowing how to rectify this - or indeed if I should be?
