Anyone know what is going to change? I get AA as I was 65 when I found out I had RA, now wondering what these changes coming in in April will be.

Also got a phone call from th G.P.s this morning telling me they have made an appointment with the doctor to discuss my medication, they can't touch my meth because I get that from the hospital, just hope they don't take my co-dydramol off me.

    Sorry, can't help here. Have you tried DirectGov site or just googling the question?

    I hope you can stay on whatever meds do it for you.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Silverbirch

    I have to go every 6 months to get my meds reviewed. It's to stop people being on them indefinitely and their cupboards being full of unused meds. Hopefully, if your combination of drugs is working, they will leave well-alone for you.

    Fingers crossed

    Love

    I was under the impression Attendance Allowance will not be touched by the Government.
