Hi Lollypop,

I'm glad you are in good spirits, hopefully your happiness will radiate and give me some good feelings, I'm the same as you, I appealed them taking the 'support' element off me and putting me into the work support group, after they assessed me in March, and took me off it without first writing to my doctor and the Rhummie, for reports, the big heads, so maybe if we all cross fingers together and chant, we'll all hear good news,

I personally believe when they advertise for medical support examiners they write "Zombies wanted to check out the sickest people in the land, need to have no discernment whatsoever, no feelings, need to have trained in a Nazi lovers training camp, need to be obvlivious to tears and distress, need to be able to twist everything you hear so that we can stop paying patients money due honestly to them, need to be able to do lots of trickery, if you cant don't bother replying especially if you have one single ounce of compassion for humanity"

I'm sure everyone will agree wholeheartedly, take care love Claire xxxx

I hope you hear something very soon aswell lollypop, usually takes 6 wks but depends on the back log so they say anyway. Claire i do agree with you whole heartedly. I count myself lucky to have passed my medical, think it was only because I was so worked up and my fibro was at its worst that day that i did pass, but i know that in 8mths time i will have to go through the whole process again and that scares me rigid. Its bad when your scared of a medical but they have your livelyhood in their hands and they make you feel about 10in tall when they talk down to you. I hate them and the system its just so not fair.

So good luck t both of you i am routing for you both too xxx

Thank you Willowmuse, I did pass the medical but I got the 'support' element taken off me, the lovely! lady asked me before I left her 'office', if I was applying for Esa for my diverticular disease, my asthma or my fibromyalgia, she insisted I pick so I picked fibromyalgia, I was talking to the Esa dept about it to-day, and asked for an address to complain about my treatment, and was told to write to their address, but to put customer service in the heading, and it would get to the complaints dept., well worth a try....

Scrummie glad I made you laugh, thank you, you have to try and do so with this affliction of ours don't you? cheers girls xxxx
