Not sure I had to keep going to medicals to get my disability (if that is what you are asking about). I even had to go to tribunal the first time around and sit in front of a panel of Drs.

Keep persisting, if you are entitled you will qualify.

have just read in another post are from the UK,there are services out there that can help with building a case for benefits claims-
http://www.scope.org.uk/dial
-DIAL are specialists in helping with disability issues such as benefits,theyre better than the CAB as the CAB only work for people who have a low maximum amount of money if remember correctly.

disability grants available in the UK-

theres also advocacy,theres a lot of different services out there,have personaly used local advocacy services that belong to social services many times which doesnt cost and theyre very good.

heres a good page on advocacy indepth-
