Hi everyone. Hope your all keeping well. Well i got a fit for work application. Got welfare rites lady to help fill out. Sent off in March. Went for medical 4th May. Come 2nd July still no word back. So called welfare and they said id have to call ESA find out what was happening. So scared as i was i did so. The lady didn't know anything about it and said theres no time limit on these things. Came back and said its still with the accessor. That was 2nd July i called. Low and behold next day 3rd July came brown envelop. Outcome. NO POINTS NOT EVEN 1. ... So i called welfare rites lady righte away and got an appointment for to send off letter of reconciliation.. im so ill will nerves and my anxiety has went through the roof making me have terrible flare ups just what i need. Im so sick and tired of it all.. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia anxiety and psoriatic arthritis. I take 12 gabapentian a day 8 paracetamol, 3 ibuprofen and folic acid. And every Wednesdays i take 20mg of methotrexate have to get my bloods done every 6 weeks now and still attend dr and rheumatologist... Everything thing the accessor said was LIE'S LIE'S LIE'S. So my esa has stopped and ill need to live on mt Pip. As sge suggested i apply for universal credit. NO IM NOT. MY dr and rheumatologist say im unfit for work so im claiming nothing. I hipe tbey reconsider if nit then it will being getting appealed. Sorry for rant. Im just sick and worried too. Xx
Depressed and upset : Hi everyone... - Fibromyalgia Acti...
Depressed and upset
Really sorry to read this and how it has made you feel , il post a link perhaps give Janet a ring our benefits advisor healthunlocked.com/fibromya... you really need some advice on this and I’m sure our members will give you some advice as I have not ventured down this road as yet. No worries you can rant as better to let it out and hopefully get some much needed help for you, also sending a link might help you to lock your posts as not open to other site engines on the internet healthunlocked.com/fibromya... x
How horrid for you. This can take a while to fix so signing on for UC may be sensible. If you leave it till desperate you will find yourself waiting for money. Likely until you are in a massive muddle! You WR person can fill in the details n you say you are limited and get a drs fit note pronto!!! They must take into account your limitations. You will be asked to attend JC meetings n get a job centre adviser. It is all horridly depressing n upsetting but they do mainly understand that you have to appeal n may go back from whence you came. Tell them your limitations n get them to make reasonable adjustments to help you cope. Hopefully your WR person can get things moving quickly. But 6_7 months may be a realistic time frame to get this sorted.
DO NOT apply for Universal Credit. IT is generally worse for disabled /chronically ill people, and you can't go back to ESA.
Thankyou everyone. Still no letter back. And No Way Am I Claiming for anything. Im not fit to work and im not fit to be going through a lot of crap either. What im facing at the moment is enough. I will be putting in an appeal if nothing changes. Thanks fir all advice x
