    Was it the same "nice lady" who did the assessment?

    How long do you have to wait?

    At least you have done your bit now.

    Hi berty,

    Have you received your confirmation letter? what about the 'pathways to work'....surely if you're on the 'limited capability' list you don't have to jump through that particular hoop just yet?

    fingers crossed for you,

    Iris xx

    hi Iris yes i have had my letter but it dident make it quite clear if i will have to go for the pathways to work or not my idea is if i dont hassle them they might not hassle me :lol: i have been before and it wasent that bad but as things havent realy changed much i think it would be a waste of time x
