[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2005943, member: 420515"] I understand your point, but there needs to be common sense too. Otherwise, 1) you get a pump 2) you improve 3) you have improved to where no more improvement is possible 4) they take your pump away because you haven't improved 5) you get a lot worse 6) you now qualify for a pump 7) goto 1) It's not reasonable to demand continual improvement, but that was required in the OP's contract. If the pump is helping you, you shouldn't be threatened with having it removed (particularly after OP's 7 years on the pump). Funding-wise, if the pump doesn't cause improvement, then certainly remove it. Taking a pump away from someone who is benefiting and it is helping because someone else could also benefit from a pump - that makes me deeply uneasy. [/QUOTE]
