Hate claiming benefits
It's good that you got your appointment changed. Stay strong.
Well done for getting the assessment changed to somewhere more familiar. Wishing you all the very best for the 28th.
The same thing happened to me.....are they testing us?
As if any of us would choose to live with a life altering chronic disease. We often jyst can’t work and need some help to stay independent. Good luck and stay strong, make sure you tell them everything you struggle with. We all deserve support when it’s necessary!
hope all goes well
Good luck with the assessment.
Good luck,let us know how you get on.
So do I hate claiming benefits, but I've no choice and have made my fair share to this country's prosperity during the near 40 years that I was able to work. So in no way do I feel guilty about claiming what is rightfully due to me because I've been unfortunate enough to get a horrible debilitating disease!! There's no way that I'm going to let the bartrds get to me as much as they'd like to!

Good luck and don't try and be macho about how your condition affects you - they need to know your worst-case scenarios in all the gory detail! It's a humiliating process, but look at it as just one day out of your life, to get what you're entitled to. Hope it all goes well and that you get the right outcome.
