Do you have a good Rheumatologist who could write something about your condition for the appeal?
There is probably useful stuff on the charity’s website as well as on here to explain the impact of the disease. If some of our own doctors don’t get it, I am sure DWP part time/ retired doctors don’t.
This is such a farce. They would find it very hard to get women of our age into work with our full health and strength anyway. Sending you a big strong hug! Xx ✊
Just look at Mellisa post. That is enough for my apeal. Of course needs to be in my words.
Yes. I think putting things like that and the recent missive about the lengthy of time you may well be affected would be good idea. It's just hard getting the brain to do it!
I’m so sorry thst you are going through all of this. Pick just one and it’s stressful. Throw them all together and no wonder you feel overwhelmed. I know I would be, too. Your pension system is a mystery to me so i have no suggestions. But, are there appeal attorneys that could help you with your appeal? An agency that assists senior citizens? It seems that the decision should be made from medical records, doctor’s recommedations. As Sheffield Jane suggested, would your doctor step in to assist? Regarding your narrative, go back through Melissa’s post, jog down phrases/words that you really connect with and then reconstruct the words into your sentences. I’m quite sure that she would be thrilled to have her blog assist you, or any of us, verbalize our experience. How soon will your appeal come up?
Uncertainty is a hard thing to live with. The worse you feel it seems the more hoops there are to jump through. Hope you feel a bit better today. Always better to get it out there otherwise it just spins around in the old noggin!
My very best wishes for a successful appeal, a virtual hug and 💐 take as many moments as you need to feel sorry for yourself we do understand.
Thinking of you Morrison, l am not surprised that you feel depressed,l hope that things improve for you soon,PMR is not an easy illness to deal with, the symptoms can vary from day to day,good days and bad days but never feeling really well xx.
