Hi everyone I had a look at getting the right support at work. I work as Family Support Worker and I have been in my new job going 17 months after 30 years plus of looking for a full time permanent job. I havery had 3 Managers in that time and another one due to start and 15 people have left during that time. When I am…
Well, I got the letter on Friday that announced that they had received my appeal letter for my ESA. Now i just have to get medical letters to send off and speak with the CAB. Also got the letter on Friday that my PIP Mandatory Appeal letter has also been turned down, so it will be off to the CAB to get another letter…
Hi everyone I had a look on the forum and had notice that I could get a letter from my GP for support in getting a Freedom Pass for health reasons. There was also more information on concessions fee for cinemas and football match which I found out myself and would like to share. Concession for fee for those with a…

I have seen my consultant rheumatologist and specialist nurse regularly, especially so since starting the biologics and following a download spiral with my…

I have also included a letter from my rheumatologist confirming that the switch from humira to imraldi is not working and that my fibro is very active (unlike its host) and my…

Despite the medical evidence i provided, despite all the information i gave them, it seems that everything has been ignored. The return letter i got back really was desperate. They ignored the fact that i am using…

One of the things that really winds me up – apart from people using Blue Badges that don’t appear to need them – is people claiming PIP when they are not entitled. I expect that a large number of genuinely disabled people either know or suspect others of claiming to be disabled when they are clearly not. I have no problem…
At the minute I am working full time claiming no benefits. I am finding it extremely difficult at work with the severe OA in my hip. My worry is about what happens when or if I find it too unbearable to work, I have absolutely no idea about benefits or even if I could get help. Walking to a hospital appointment is…
