good luck....i got turned down...waiting for my appeal they say that am fit enough to work...doing what i don't know ...can't sit for to long...can't stand for to long...can't use my hands for to long....and they say am fit....i wish they could have my body for just 2 hours and then say i can work....

am lucky i got a understanding hubby now...he does most of the housework...if he didn't i would be a lot worse...

Thanx bean and good luck with yours too.

Its disgusting that they think that we dont deserve something to help us.

I dont go anywhere on my own and my partner is struggling, working and looking after me kids and house its not fair. ohh and me lol.

The amount of meds i need just to get out of bed is not normal but they treat us like we are normal, sorry bit of a rant lol.

I understand they are fakers out there but all they need to do is send me to a medical with a proper gp and they will see.

I tried to apply last year when i just had fibro and got turned down and my gp told me to hang and now i have multiple things wrong so hopefully i will get it this time.

Its good you have an understanding hubby as i suppose it is hard for them too, mine is ok generally but i get ratty with him and i cant help it.

good luck again, hugs, kel xxx

I had mine stopped when they reviewed as they said I can now turn over in bed without help and cook a meal for one...so where does that leave my husband and 88 year old mum who lives with us. Trouble is they should see me now!

HI mazzle, i am so sorry you had yours stopped its terrible isnt it.

I cant turn over in bed and my partner does most of the cooking when i am really bad (i cant afford takeaways, but thats what we would eating if it was up to him)lol.

My sister gets all the money going for depression and i know it can be bad but she does nothing to help herself and sits on a computer allday and its just not fair as she gets a fortune and i got turned down last year i was so mad.

I hope you get it sorted soon good luck.

hugs, kel xxx

Thanks

We are running a pony rides and party business and i have to work as much as I can but a couple of busy days and I am out of it. Got to do it to boost lost pensions now we are retired. I have someone 20 years younger than me with fibro and she sits on her backside all day doing nothing and gets all the benefits but i have seen her when she doesnt think anyone is around and boy can she party!

and you. I must admit I have been in the greenhouse this afternoon and put in some seeds as I cant expect my husband to do it all with 13 ponies, 14 labradors and chickens and ducks and mother to look after and now I am cream crackered but it had to be done. He is at the stables cleaning the fields and I just had to get out in the air for a while.

Not what you're looking for?
