Now ESA has been refused.

[spideyman]

When will it end?

Ive now been refused ESA and forced to sign on.

Im going for mandatory reconsideration.

So far i have my MP involved, my GP is writing a letter for me. Ive got the food bank workers all pitching in. (I volunteer there 2 hrs a week)

If this fails then a letter is going to be written by my Mum (whos a retired neuro nurse) to papers.

The government is so wrong to target the wrong ppl.

Ive still got my tribunal for PIP on November 15th.

I seriously think Government is trying to give me a fourth haemorrhage and kill me to save them money

Hi, hang on in there. I honestly think that no one realises just how difficult living day day with a brain injury.

I never realised, not that I had ever encountered anyone living with a BI until I got mine.

Every day is a battle, the smallest things can become so difficult to achieve.

We just bought a new bookcase for me and my husband put it together for me leaving the placing of the shelves for me to do. I thought that would be no problem but I couldn't manipulate the little lug things into the holes and even if I could have done that I didn't have the strength to push them home!!!!!

Such frustrations, I bet you really value those 2 hours you volunteer, and then go home exhausted.

My heart goes out to you. I am retired now so no longer have that battle to face.

Yes its not so much the physical exhaustion but the mental exhaustion.

They seem to think if you sit down and rest then it will go.

It ONLY goes by turning off and sleeping

Hi Spidey, I really feel for you and hope it works out

in the end.

I agree with Janets comments and nobody who's had a brain injury should be subject to this.

I wish you well. K

Am so sorry Spidey that both your benefits have been refused.

What about a petition: change.org; 38 degrees ?

Good luck
