I went on an American website and printed out the information along with the NHS information, didn't make a jot of difference but at least I tried. I have lost job after job due to time off sick or brain fog making me make huge mistakes so now work for myself as I am the best boss I could have xx

Hi

If u go on the gov website or type in DDA into Google it will come up. There's lots of useful info on there, particularly if uve become disabled whilst at work (my fibro came on suddenly in March 2003) or if u are disabled whn u apply for a job etc. Whn i mean disabled i mean u hv a long-term chronic condition which gives u disability rights at work and youre entitled to reasonable adjustments too. Also DDA is part of the Equality Act now. I can send u more info to an email address. Mine is mimiweeks99@aol.com
