[irishjools]

Assessment this morning, have been awake since 2.30am yesterday morning. Have been crying non stop. Am so scared coz I know I will fail and having had to fight the last 2 I know I can't do it again

Hi Jools,

Many of us know how you feel, but just go along anyway, and let them see you at your worse. You don't know for sure that you will fail, but if you do, no one is going to punish you for it.

The trend seems to be that most people fail twice, then eventually get what they're due, so please don't give up or let these people intimidate you.

Cases are going through the newspapers and to court, so ATOS will soon have to think again.

Best of luck, and don't let the b*s grind you down!

Just had assessment, completely broke down when asked if I had had suicidal thoughts. I said I admitted that I had and it was first time that mum had heard it. The Dr was patient and understanding. When asked if she knew about fibro she said yes her husband had suffered for years. She told me that she was recomending that I not be seen for at least 2 years and that I would definitely stay in support group. Won't believe it till I receive the letter saying so

Sounds like a good outcome, eh, Jools? Well done, and give yourself a treat this afternoon!

Good luck for today.

Try to stay focused and not let them grind you down.

That's what they do.

I think these people are out on a mission to strike you off.

They get bonuses too for doing just that.

When I went I could almost see a bubble over his head with a porche car in it.

Every answer I gave to his question he wrote down the complete opposite!!

Needless to say I failed. So I just wrote an account of what REALLY happened at my

Medical.

And I won back my benefits!!

[irishjools]

It was a home visit and she didn't examine me just asked how I coped with my conditions including fibro. Now wondering why. Am so sorry for being negative but really can't help it

[irishjools]

Think I just made her uncomfortable with my sobbing

You convinced me, and I have not even seen you. You are now in the SG.
