Wrag or support

[gilly25]

Hi all hope your all enjoying this beautiful sunshine, how many fibro sufferers get wrag payments and how many get support ? It seems that not all fibro sufferers are in the support group and the condition is all the same so why the 2 different groups? Puzzled.com

Two reasons one not all fibromites suffer in the same way I worked for 8 years with fibro when I was first diagnosed ..... 2nd you get more money in the support group so you are more likely to get shoved into the WRAG group and have to attend work based interviews...

I'm in the support group. At my medical I was seen by a physiotherpist (soz about spelling ) & I wasn't asked to.do anything physical,like move my arms etc as she said she knew how I would suffer the following day.... Only for 1 yr so now I've had to do the paperwork & medical again xx

Lucky you , mine had me trying to do hands up, she helped me onto bed , then had me trying to lift leg , turn over , go from sit to stand , balance , lift a 3 litre milk carton with water in it which I dropped . Trying to grip a pen , use a keyboard and fasten a belt . Unable to do many of the tasks . I was in agony . I felt faint , was sick in her office and she then got me a drink of cold water got me to lie down then put me in a taxi home which they paid for 24 miles away . She phoned me 3 hours later to ask how I was . But still put me in the WRAG group lol x
