Had Disability Living forms!

I had a feeling it was going to happen! Yesterday the Department of work & pensions envelope arrived I had a horrible feeling it was going to happen as the government has changed Disability living allowance to ESA and is retesting everyone who claims it. So even though I was awarded DLA for life I've got to now fill in these forms and send them back for these job worth's to decide if I'm still sick enough to have the benefit or whether to take me off it and make me look for work. It's really stressing me out as I know I can't work as I tried and only lasted one day!! So now it will be up to some jobs worth who doesn't know me or how sick I am to make the decision on how my life will pan out!!

tell the truth, you willbe ok

Thanks Boss! They just have a way of making you feel like a fraud, why don't they just contact the G.P's or consultants rather than making you suffer and get stressed which will cause you to become ill!!!

i have sat in an interview, it was ok

BUBBA, they do this all the time here in Italy too, there are soooo many fake-disabled (ex: blind people caught on tennis courts, wheelchair users caught jogging in their free time...). We have to be interviewed by a couple of doctors, that's all. Which I did, in order for them to certify that I REALLY am 100% disabled, no way I can get any better. The pension I get though is only enough to pay half my carer's wage. Next move: buy an electric saw!! Then the big dilemma: should I sever her horizontally along the waist or vertically from head to toes? This is the question...

:laugh: and don't stress yourself too much !!

Awww, Amanda, I'm so sorry for the stress. It sounds a lot like what people go through here in the states for disability benefits. Just hang in there and love up those kitties! Everything will work out.
