Another knock back from DLA

[dizzyduck]

Even though my own GP, OT&Rhuemo says I should be getting it. The DLA Government Depts say NO, NO, & NO again. I have a massive bruise where I fell trying to shower, however they say I am not at risk of falling. One ANGRY women, in pain, in despair. I MUST FIGHT ON........... XXXX

[webby]

I work in a gp centre and can tell you that you are not alone they are just refusing all with any disability, but what is concerning is pts who have a partner who has been resused and have no benefits coming in at all as they are in this no mans land of being refused dla but not getting any other benefits WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS GOVERMENT DISCRIMITATION THAT IS WHAT IT IS AND WE MUST FIGHT. So dizziduck u keep on fighting its time we all wrote to our mp and make them them publicise it in parliament

Hey dizzyduck, gentle hugs.

I too, fought to get my DLA - and like you my GP's (2 off them) and the Rheumatologist I only saw once, told me to claim as I was NOT fit for work. It took me 2 years before they actually agreed as well!

Like you, I too, had massive bruises - but from falling into the bath as I was trying to get out of it - I applied - and got - a disability shower - but I do m=not feel safe in it - even sat in the chair it's damned slippery and I'm worried I'll slip and really hurt myself. I miss being able to soak my joints and muscles in a tub. Sigh

Don't give up sweetie - I'm certain you will win out in the end.

Love,

Carol xx

Sorry I meant Cadee. Fyobro fog!!! and Webby, I think this will be part of my next step, Seeing the CAB for a welfare officer and my local MP. How dare they make me feel as though I have nothing wrong with me!, XX love and gentle hugs to all. This family gives me the energy I need tokeep the big fight going.

I am sorry dizzyduck,

I too have been turned down last week for dla. I expected it though after hearing the terrible stories. I have someone helping me with mine through the me association, but she has been off and not back in till monday so i have to wait and see what she says before phoning them. I am just not strong enough to fight this on my own.

I hope you get somewhere with it soon hun. I wouldnt take it too personally hun as i think its everyone they are turning down. I know exactly how you feel though.

hugs, kel xxxx

I was advised to fill out the form as it is on THE VERY WORST DAY I've suffered.

I never did go ahead with it as I've since started to feel a lot better and there's no reason I can't work....AT THE MOMENT!!!!

IF it gets bad again, then i will do it and I hope that before long, FMS is recognised for what it is for many people, an extremely debilitating illness.

I hope you get some positive outcome soon.

Take care of you xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[dizzyduck]

Jane64, DLA is for people who work with a disability as well as those who cannot work at all due to their disability. XXXX As you can see it takes its toll, and when your at your worst most of the time you don't feel worthy or have the enthusiaism to fight the government purses. XXXXXXX do what you hav to do now babe. it seems from the Fybro family blogs that is going to take years!!!!!

i have given up applying after doing so twice., they refused me e s a, and have put me on jsa which means i have to be actively seeking work, im so frightened of taking on a job because i never know how im going to feel when i wake up in the morning. could be good or seriously bad pain. its ridiculous that we are made to feel like this, the government have got it terribly wrong this time. so many people with disabilities are being forced into work when they clearly are not fit to do so, i cant see no way out and the stress is making me worse im now feeling like i have no where to turn

[dizzyduck]

mumziepauline please don't give up hope. I know it's awful that we have to fight like this. I have worked all my life as a teacher and now that I am sick, depressed and in so much pain, I, like everyone on this fybro family site has to fight. DO NOT GIVE UP, go back to your GP (hopefully an understanding one) and explain how you r feeling, when depression is very bad it affects our moods and our ability to see things straight, we cannot be bothered to get out of bed and we are so tired. How can you possibly work feeling like that together with your pain? I was blogging all day yesterday and today I have the fight in me that had been ground down. This blog is the best thing my GP told me about. Like the words of a song 'pick yourself up and get back in the race' (well slow pace snail) but you get the idea. Try the CAB and welfare officers, local MP. FIGHT BACK. xxxxxx love and gentle hugs to you

[luvmybabies]

Mumziepauline feel for you hun. I have just reapplyed for ESA for the 2nd time. Like every1 is sayin plz dont give up there is no way you could start a job!!!! I really wish some jumped up suit would like to swap just 1 day with 1 of us who has to deal with all the pain we go through, and then lets see what they will have to say!!!! When b/days or xmas comes around & my partner will ask what id like for a present, my answer is always the same. Just 1 day without pain would be lovely ~ and he gets so upset because he carnt do anything about it!!! With all this tryin to get benefits is so very stressfull & upsettin we dont need it ontop of everything else. Maybe we should send all these blogs to the goverment!!!! x gentle hugs every1 xx

Hi, i am just waiting to re- hear about my claim, i had dla for the last few yrs but my claim runs out at the end of this month. I am heavily depending on a yes as i need a mobility scooter to get out of my house and they they take payments direct from dla!

I got refused the first time i applied but instead of fighting it alone i went directly to welfare rights and after the lady helped me fill it all in again, i got a yes!

Dont give up, it really is worth the fight!!!!

I will certainly be keeping fingers crossed for us all!

xx
