How awful for you. Sitting on those hard chairs and not being able to get comfortable must have been a nightmare!! I have my assessment soon and fear the same will happen to me, like you I have a lot of pain and would find attending a work programme induction thingy extremely difficult - I'll probably take days to recover from it!! I hope that some sense is applied to your claim now and that you receive the benefit you so obviously are entitled to.

It’s so sad that some people are treated this way and I am sorry you treated so badly. I think it all depends on how helpful and understanding your work coach is. Before I was awarded limited capability for work status, my work coach didn’t push me to do anything. All I had to do was turn up once a month and have s telephone appointment once a month. I did at one point say to him that I was worried he wasn’t sending me to some of the things you mentioned and his response was”it doesn’t take a genius to see that you wouldn’t cope, so what’s the point?” He did say if I saw something I felt I could do he would advocate on my behalf. He helped me fill in the forms for the assessment and I think with his backing I was awarded limited capability for work status. I am very greatful to him for not just his common sense but also for the help he gave me. I am 54 and had never claimed before, but after being made redundant I had no choice. Have you been assessed yet? I wish you well. X
