Disability allowance refusal

Isabelmaria

I have been having problems securing a job since 2006 , under advice of my last employer i went to my doctor for an assessment of my mental health, after some tests they found some mental impairment with attention and memory specially affected.
my daily life is affected as i cant do anything without supervision due to making gross mistakes.
Under advice of my doctor i applied to disability allowance and was refused , as they say my impairment is not significant to prevent searching for a job.
i have been applying for all low skilled jobs i see but after the interview nobody calls me , they say i'm not fit to work.
Citizens advice office is closed, where can i get help to challenge their decision?

you need to appeal the decision in writing within 28 days i believe. and you would be required to submit more proof of your impairment. However if they do agree that i doesnt stop you undertaking any work at all they will only refuse again
