update….retirement

[126Jessie]

Morning everyone. Just a wee update. Saw Dr yesterday. She has agreed to complete/ check the IHR form. She told me I need to keep trying, others much healthier than I have been awarded it and it is definitely the right thing to do. I handed in an almost populated application form for her to read, cross check, change as she sees fit. This was due the last time she was unsure of what to write. I detailed a full history of my medication over 26 years, my job description and how my work impacts my health etc. I discussed every word on the form in detail with two previous occupational professionals, and they both used this information to form an opinion and write a small report recommending unfit for work no changes can be made,before the final person knocked me back last week.

My doc told me she will look at report/ make changes and provide a cover letter stating the findings are collated from not just her opinion but others too.

I’m hoping that is a good thing.?? Keep over thinking everything, should I have written it all down to help her….. honestly they make this an impossible task. I know the contents are 100% accurate and I shared all the information previously. Confidence is low on everything regarding this…. Keep waiting for something else to go wrong….. as the report has to be written by a medical person…. Which, if she checks and signs it I suppose it still is??

. Doc got quite animated and said I need to shout and shout louder and keep going as it is the right thing for me to do!&

. Anyhoo, the ramblings of my story laid out again. Just wanted to update you, the lovely people that got me through last weekend. You do not know how much your replies helped me get through an awful time, not like me at all. The wheels well and truly fell off the cart! Hope you all have a lovely pain free weekend and see a wee bit of sun. 🌞 xx

Let's hope you get the correct decision this time round. I swear they have a quota of successful candidates to fill and after that, despite the validity of the claim, they deny you. Sending warm virtual hugs
