Another blooming assessment 😡😡😡

[Sweetheart0377]

I have another blooming assessment today to help boost my esa . Person is not a specialist , nor a gp but has some kind of medical training apparently . Her report will determine whether my money stays the same or goes up . How ridiculous is this !!! I have letters from specialist , gp , pain clinic and everyone else I've seen but none of them matter it's all down to this report from this person . I'm fuming !! I'm in agony the weather is crap . So I've decided I'm taking the whole bag in meds that's Im on and when asked what medication do you take Im going to scatter the bag all over the desk ( ps the amount of pills I take it looks like I own half the pharmacy lol ) maybe a visual understanding of how many things u take might make them realise I'm in agony and could really do without jumping through these sodding hoops . Wish me luck xxx

It's an absolute joke the way this Tory government treat people, animals are better treated and I think they just try to wear you down so we will not bother claiming so hang in there xxx

[Sweetheart0377 in reply to popsmith1874]

It is no one would treat an animal like this , plus they know this is my only source of income so literally I have to beg them to help me 😢😢

Reflects the helplessness of treating chronicly ill RA patients. Seems like the current arsenal of meds hasn't really increased your quality of life or made a great difference in your illness

[Sweetheart0377 in reply to Simba1992]

No if anything they've made me worse due to all the side effects , might solve one problem and gives you 20 others xx

I had my esa assessment 3 weeks ago. I tipped the boxes from my medication onto the desk and she looked gobsmacked. Good luck with your assessment, I'm still waiting for the outcome of mine xx

[Sweetheart0377 in reply to Jewels94]

Your still waiting 3 weeks later ?? That is disgusting chase them up !! They'll soon get fed up of you calling and sort it out quicker xx

Hi. Here's wishing you all the best for your assessment! I'm currently awaiting an appointment for my 'work capability assessment'. After reading the criteria on a disability rights website Im dreading it! 'Can you put something into a breast pocket'? Well yes but so what????? I can put my Cap on my head too but that doesn't make me Mo Farah now does it!!! Filling the form out was a trial in itself as I struggle with handwriting these days. Fortunately I managed to find a PDF to complete on my PC-still had to print it off though. The DWP's solution was to call them and recite my answers-no pressure there eh??? Sorry for ranting on your post.

Hope it goes well for you-let us know how it went.

Paul

[Jewels94 in reply to Sweetheart0377]

That's awful. Bet you're fuming

[Sweetheart0377 in reply to Jewels94]

I am and I’m not , I am because it will take longer before my money is upped , and no because it’s not a good day today all my joints have ceased up and are killing me ( so kind of a blessing I don’t have to go out in the damp and cold ) x

They may judge how much weight you are carrying in any bag(s) and form an opinion.

Wouldn’t surprise me
