I am writing to thank The Press for the support it has given my wife and I over these last few weeks.

I am absolutely positive that without the coverage you have given I would still be fighting the bureaucrats at the Department for Work and Pensions.

I would also like to thank the readers of The Press for the many letters, emails, phone calls and passing comments of support that I have received over the last few weeks.

I would never have believed that so much support could come from one article in The Press from such a wide variety of people, and that were all encouraging me to continue my fight.

I would encourage anyone in similar circumstances, even if they feel like giving up, to carry on fighting.
