These work assesment interviews are doing my head in, i had to sit in the jc for 2 hours last Friday, pretending i worked there lol, to get me used to the work environment, should be used to that by now after 45 years of working lol. I was too late for my appeal to be changed from the wrag to sg, but i have written to them anyway since i was awarded higher mobility rate, jc stresses me out i hate the place , well more i hate mixing with the people in that go in there, i have nothing in common with them , one women i was with last week couldnt string a sentence together, may be i am a snob huh, I WANT TO RETIRE, do you hear that Mr Cameron, i am 60 please dont make me try to get another job, thats if they can find me one that can cope with ME and my arthritic body, just off that subject , i am having some problems with pains in my calf muscles (i can wait for 3 weeks for Drs app lol), and they feel really hard, any idea anyone.
Moan over , have a good day all

Some people, for one reason or another didn't benefit from the education system however they are still worthy of help and assistance. I do understand your point I too am 60 and worked from 15 years of age until the age of 49 when I had to stop through ill health. We manage on my Husbands disability payment and two work pensions. Very few people starting out now will ever benefit from work pension, I have no solution I do understand your frustration. Lou x
I was just having a moan Lou, i hate going in there, i get by, live on my own but have a lovely son, daughter in law, daughter , son in law and 2 gorgeous granddaughters, as well as 3 sisters, 2 brothers and all their families, we are very close and all gather at my moms (she is 85), or if i cant go out they will all come to me, full house some days , i am blessed really xx
Hi. I was about to post a thread about ME and signing on. I used to work for myself but since my business went bump I have realized that i have no choice but to sign on. I have got my first appointment today (dreading it)! Do I tell them I have ME and if I do will they say I shouldn't be on the dole. This may well be in my favour they may get me on esa. What should I do. i am due to go at 8.45 am today so please reply before then!
Hi angelm54. Yes I did tell them I have got an appointment with the disability adviser next week. When I had my interview she asked me if i thought I was fit to work and she said I might be best to go on esa. I am worried that if I have to go on esa that my doctor will not give me a medical certificate as he doesn't seem to see what is in front of him. He will not diagnose ME or fibro, he just keeps telling me I have different things every time I see him. First of all he told me I had problems with my thyroid then he told me it was anxiety he has now said I am bordering on anemia which is why I feel so tired (what an understatement). When I gave him a list of my symptoms ( I gave him a written list) I could see the cogs going round in his brain and I was dying to tell him it was ME. He has also sent me to the hospital which is nearly an hours drive away to have a 24hr heart monitor as I though it came back normal (what a waste of petrol).
