Hi All

Did anyone else see the news yesterday about the number of people waiting for ESA and PIP assessments? According to the BBC there are over 700,000 people waiting to hear about ESA alone.

I am in the process of applying for both so I don't hold out much hope for a decision any time soon. I haven't heard anything back from ESA about an assessment yet and I only rang up about PIP this week. It'll probably be next year before I get that sorted out!

    I saw it also. Alarming. Our broken system needs help, not sure what will fix it. More money? More Doctors? More Specialists? I'm sure it's not more Politicians. Our society is living longer and longer and will be needing a lot of healthcare in those golden years. I worry for our future. :?
