Oh bless you! U can't give up, what other choice do we have if we let our illness beat us! I have been under the job centre a few times and they have a department designed to deal with people with disabilities and help them get back into work...they negotiate with potential employers and help with research etc! My mum always tells me "one door closes another one opens" and I am a firm believer in that! Claire x

I was going to ask you if you have appealed this decision as you are more than entitled to. If not I would appeal. If this is the result of a tribunal then there is nothing stopping you claiming again. They prefer it if we all crawl into a corner and give up. If you can face an appeal. go for it xxxxx

Hi Coops

Please don't give up, it is exactly what the powers that be want, for all of the disabled people to give up and disappear so they will not have the expense of us. First they get us off disability and out to work (as if we could) and then they want to get rid of our medications. It seems they are now going to stop long term medication drugs.

I am so glad I am not young because I think the way things are going this country is going to end up like Hitler dreamt, with no poor, no disabled and the workers being there only for the people in charge.

I really can't think what is coming next as an excuse for saving money.

I digress sorry, Keep fighting them, do not let them get the upper hand or they will win. Please do not make it easy for them to get rid of us.

Kindest regards

Terry

Oh gosh!! I'm in the WRAG too and I didn't think to appeal!! I actually didn't know I could appeal. But I don't have to have a medical for 12 months!! I'm sure I'll be better by then....NOT!!! I had an interview at the jobcentre in October and she was quite nice, explained to me that by law she has to keep in touch with me but that I wasn't to worry. I hope she could see just how bad my pain was at the time!!
