hi there,

yea sadly I have had 7 now lol. You know how it is just cos people cannot see whats wrong with you they automatically assume that you are fine.

The second one i had they automatically assumed exactly that.....they stopped my benefit and it took me the next 15 months appealing the decision, living on fresh air!!! with a young child

SOOOOOOO even though i am sure that your symptoms etc are very real and very hard to deal with......PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET YOU......MAKE SURE THAT THE ANSWERS YO GIVE ARE ACTUALLY WHAT THEY WRITE DOWN

Good luck tho xxx

Hi they do like to muck us about hoping you will go away, yes im on the next stage i failed the assessment dont worry alot of poeple do, so on to tribunal for me. Just try and tell them how it affects you cos we all different dont give up i think they must be knee deep in people going through this process its not personnel its numbers which is horrid to think like that but its true. So good luck try and just go with it nothing happens that quickly and you can appeal their decision anyway.

There are loads on this topic in popular questions on this site give them a read.

Good luck keep going you will get there.
