Work capability assessment questionnaire.

[Wobblybobbly]

Hi, I suffer with fibromyalgia, chronic joint and back pain, a mixed personality disorder, migraines and depression and anxiety with other little bits thrown in. I recently received the above and am worried about what's going to happen if I'm found fit for work. I'm scared because I know my options are limited and I'm fed up have having to explain myself to strangers to try to convince them of my problems and how difficult it would be to find work that would fit in with my medical needs.

Does anyone have experience of one of these assessments? I've felt suicidal since I got the letter. I've organised someone to help me fill the form in but it relies on me being able to recall every issue that could stop me working and my memory isn't up to it. I'm worried I may forget something important, I'm worried about getting a job and letting people down due to sickness absence, I'm worried about losing the job and having to start again on the benefits pathway, getting behind with rent, bills etc?

I'm sorry to go on and on, I'm not against working but where can I get a job with the flexibility I need?

Any help and advice would be appreciated.
