I.ve decided its just too much to think about .... I will worry about it when / if it happens as there are so many u turns being made / said ATM .. Not gonna spend anytime worrying about what might happen next year ... There's nothing we can do about it to stop it from happening so will worry about it when it does... I have decided just to go with the flow and see what happens... If I was an animal I would be a ostrich with my head firmly in the sand... Actually rather a good position for the government to kick me up the arse and say get your withered wrinkled krackered old body out to work... I am sure there are loads of employers waiting for me desperately ..... Not ........when they can employ young fit teenagers at below min wage rate

Sorry for the rant.... Very grumpy today

This worries me alot after failing my ESA getting no points at all I am dreding myDLA assessment. At the moment I get high rate care and mobility yet no points for ESA it just shows how unfair the system is. i have a disability car and could not manage without it I just hope I can keep it. xx

Hi,getactive,If you are going to appeal( and I hope you are ),I would advise you to get letters re; your medical condition from every doctor you have ever seem,photo copy them ,keeping a set for your files and send them / or keep them for your appeal.This is what I have always done,I don't trust government people.

I am a ex-nurse and got a weeks notice about my ESA meeting and a month later I got letter saying I'm in the support group.It also helps if you are in a support group for ME or Fibromyalgia,than they know you are trying to find out more about handling your condition.

I have heard that lots of people here in Northern Ireland having there cars taking off them within days of losing there DLA ,I've also heard of lots of people killing themselves.I have a car but its mine they just pay my tax.

I haven't heard anything about DLA regarding my medical,but as I have been on DLA since 1995 I automatically quialify for PIP/DLA.It seem's the system in England is somewhat different from Northern Ireland....

PLEASE GERACTIVE APPEAL.......DON'T LET THEM WIN...THE BEST OF LUCK!<3

It is shocking the amount of people who have to go through the stress and upset but definatley think if you disagree with the decisions dwp and atos make. Don't be frightened to appeal against the decisions and don't back down.
