If the government health care system gave you hepC, you should get a lawyer and sue them. In the States, in this type of a lawsuit, the lawyer doesn't ask for money up front, he takes 33% of the settlement after the settlement. They won't take a case unless they think they can win a settlement though.------ This thread is Archived ------
ive tried that.an the lawyer wanted £1000 that I didnt have to spare so he dropped the case their excuse is they didnt know about hepc till 89 so couldnt prevent it..im not looking for compensation I just need them to help me fight the disease and cutting my benefits is like putting a nail on my coffin..

Hi, probably you can appeal the decision the government department made. Usually there is an appeal process if that hasn't been explained to you, write to the department. You might like to check online for contact details or from the correspondence you got, and either write a letter or email a request for information explaining your right of appeal with the decision made by the department and see what they have say.
Remember squeaky door gets the oil...write to your local member explaining the likely impact of that decision and request his\her intervention.
DO SOMETHING

Geez, I don't know what you can do in Scotland, but I wonder whether you can get together with other affected people, pool your money to pay a lawyer and file a lawsuit as a group?
I wish you the best of luck.

Sometimes, the first appeal doesnt work but dont be put off as the second ones usually do - I only say 'usually' too, it isnt always
