Well that was a load of ****...

Tribunal was awful. They were horrible to me especially the disability and just basically critised me and said that if I manage to go to uni even though everything is changed around my condition for me and i always have a support worker and friend with me, that I am clearly fine. Even though you can claim DLA when working. And she critised the fact I should have coping mechanisms in place by now... I ended up getting hysterical...

Didn't even get a decision, so they probably just didn't want to see me cry when they turn me down.

You have all my sympathies, not looking forward to getting to that stage myself.

I know one thing I shant hold back the tears if they start getting nasty with me, let them see how fragile you are thats what I say.

Huge but gentle hugs. xxx

AWWW so sorry they made you feel like that , its awful to be looked at and judged by few people who really know nothing about how you get on . on a daily basis they really cannot seriously look at you and decide in 15 mins wether you can or cant have dla it is a nonsense to even think it but come now dust yourself down and let this be the thing to make you more determined to show them and next time get it love to you diddle x

I empathise with all of you, when you have so called atos doctors, and tribunal officials claiming to be unbiased WHICH IS A BIG LIE you have a fight on your hands, its hard enough being in pain, fatigued and a host of other symptoms to cope with, without having to convinced these government PROTOCOL officials you are too unwell to work. SHAME ON THEM.

Poor you, it's such a lottery which officials you get at these tribunals and medicals, they should all be singing from the same hymn sheet, so unfair! Have a rest today, and try to do something to take your mind off it. X

Oh God, so sorry to hear this - it's criminal what they have put you through. I have always said I would not wish fibromyalgia even on my worst enemy, but having read THIS, I would happily make an exception and let them have just 48 hours of what most of US DO have to live with.
