Things have only got worse since she had two strokes over the last couple of years - you would think the powers would be could take the details just once, accept nothing was going to improve and just let folk get on with the daily struggle without all the needless extra stress and anxiety !?!? ... get off your soapbox, Elizabeth.

It is a little easier in the states cause I filed both my disability and the request for reconsideration (when I got turned down the first time) on line. It is about 25 pages too but at least I could type it out. The parking is a little easier with only one sheet signed by a doctor. I read in the US about 65% of people who file get denied benefits unless you are dying! Sad state of affairs for sure. Hope you get it straightened out soon and Hope you have a great week.
