I am writing this for my boyf and as we're new to this but, he has AS, and it has took 5 years to get this diagnosis then they have mentioned he has the gene HLA-b27? I think that's the name. They sacroilitis before but can I have both? Also I walk on double crutch and have been put into the work related categories but with much disdain, and at the best of times am in agony I was forced to go a distance of 6 miles walking 1 mile to abus before getting on it for 20 minutes and then the same back and watever in between, so I told the lady who phoned up about my reconsideration I got 15 points on 2 discriptors and as discussion on phone, I said about journey I took she said I'm capable of that so won't change there mind even though I literally had no choice I had just been waiting a year for decision, so I didn't know about the phone all either that I could be at home to do it, ? Shall I appeal again I have been through so much and don't know if I can carry on with this !!!! I am waiting a year nearly for pip too not helping!! Even came out of interview from this first interview crying because I felt like he was proper dissing me and laughing I had the worst pain I had had and it happened to b here and then, excruciating groin pain and he laughed in my face I'm lucky I had my crutch sand a friend sorry going on what should I do
