they were very nice to me and she said she did not want to see me for another 6 months . She also told me to apel to get on esa support as she did not think i was fit for work . xx

i only went once and they wanted my fella for interview but seems as he was on my claim i went and told her not nasty exactly how ill we both are and that we arent scroungers genuine ill people who dont want this and dont deserve it to live like this.

she was very sweet has i couldnt hold it all in and cried and people were looking at me but she agreed we shouldnt have been there but could we look at doing voluntary work to keep the job centre off our backs.

if we arent well enough to work then we arent well enough to do this kind of work either.

good luck and just be yourself .x

Mine is tomorrow too. I shall explain my problems and what an unreliable employee I would be in terms of attendance, reliability and performance, no one in their right mind would employ me!

I sleep too many hours and the brain fog is awful. When I was a lot less ill than now I was long term sick with sick notes from the doctor to cover me and my health has deteriorated considerably since those days.

As for voluntary work - again I am too unreliable - even voluntary work needs to know when you will attend.

Does being a volunteer on here count?
