Former caterer, Paul, lost an appeal to reinstate his Disability Living Allowance the same month he learned he might need to have his prostate removed, the latest of over 40 surgeries since a cancer diagnosis over ten years ago. Paul also has arthritis, lung disease and asthma, and needs a scooter and walking stick for mobility. He says, “This cancer is not going to go away.” He says he felt intimidated at the tribunal in front of the three judges, adding, “It felt as if I was sat there begging.”
