Nnnngh... PIPOh, FFS..  (Where the score is based on Higher=Worse Condition) This again.. They have, at least, awarded me my PIP at a lower (half) rate, so Mum can claim for Carer's and we at least have money coming in, so .. thank fuckity.. But they've awarded me no Mobility because "I can plan and follow a journey unaided".. .. which, given the very next thing THAT THEY WROTE claims that I can't go unaided for more than 200 meters, must mean I'm planning a journey to.. maybe the bathroom?? Fucksake.. Will be fighting this decision, but hopefully it won't need an entire sodding tribunal, this time. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Surely they have on record that you took them to court last time and by that fact alone, that are wrong in their decision. Just unbelievable. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

It does good to get a welfare-rights worker to go along to an assesment with you, if you can, those assessment goons are proper liars.

100 percent you will get it overturned on appeal, most people do.

Doug from the soundtestroom on youtube lost his income also iirc. He had to sell a lot of his stuff. With apple stopping the income for linking apps to the store did not help either. Over here in holland there are signs that they are moving towards putting more invalids in welfare. Companies (who employed them before) who insure their income now do not want to pay for them. Meanwhile every day on this planet a new bilionare is created.

Reassessment letter finally arrived, and again they've decided not to award mobility disability. Apparently I'm perfectly fine crossing a road, and nipping to the shops.. I've been out of the house once, this month, and that was to a fucking funeral. Yeah, perfectly fucking fine and dandy, me.. Gawd.. that "lifelong disability" petition's sounding pretty good, right about now,, On we go, to CAB, see what they suggest.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Got my tribunal date. 11th Feb. And yes, it HAS taken them that long. Can't stress how much we've been scrimping and saving, for the entire pissing year. Hopefully things go well.. :/ -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

The last elections where Boris Johnson won is not really a good sign for things getting better for people for disability!

Well.... That was a waste of a morning. "Not enough evidence" - tribunal postponed whilst they complain to my doctor. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

2:30. Wide awake, thinking... That guy at the tribunal's right. Even knowing "I'm on my own, there's nothing they can do to fill the hole in my head", my GP should've at least sent me to have a scan, every so often. He's not done a thing for me. ... I'm really quite annoyed, right now.. I shouldn't have to pester the doc to get a CT scan. The fuck kinda lazy-ass GP have I got?! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Just because your GP didn't send you for a scan doesn't mean that you aren't disabled. Scans wouldn't confirm disability. Did your specialist not advise having scans upto a point where they weren't necessary? I'm pretty sure you would have had at least one following your procedures. That may have been enough to confirm that the initial problem hadn't returned, but again, wouldn't clearly show how you would be affected by the illness and subsequent procedures. An OT report is far more valid for than a scan anyway. Have you had any Occupation Therapy assessments? Ask for an AMPS assessment if not - https://www.sralab.org/rehabilitation-measures/assessment-motor-and-process-skills These fucking pencil pushers will try to find any reason not to pay you what you should be entitled to. Don't let them get into your head. You ARE disabled. You aren't able to live an active, independent or "normal" life. You have had to adapt your lifestyle as a result of your illness. |

I wish countries would try and aim to cure people. Spend time on discovering new medical threatments and medicine to get people back into a healthy life. It seems all I read is that everyone needs to work no matter the situation. I have been taking medicine that were discovered in the seventees! I believe. These have quite a bunch of negative effects. Sometimes when I take them a little late I can not even operate a rower. My motor skills just take a dive. They recently made a breakthrough with Down Syndrome were they were able to make the brain function as if it were normal, this by using medication. They tested it on mice and need to test it on people next.

Finally got to that doctor's appointment. We discussed my lack of evidence for a good 10 minutes or so. Apparently he can't "just send me for a CT Scan", without good reason, but he suggested that if he refers me back to Neurology, that they "might" be able to do something. He wasn't happy about doing it, up until I said to him ... "If you had a brain tumour removed, wouldn't you like to get it checked after 5 years?" .. Then he sat in silence for a minute or so, and started searching for ways to get it done. So.. I think *something* is happening, but .. who knows what! Have to wait for some kind of feedback from whoever this neurologist is, now. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Sometimes, doctors can be the stupidest people around. I have to deal with them regularly - I see what they do (or don't do, that they should)... Fingers crossed. |

Tribunal Part 2 set for 25th March. Hopefully we get a bit further this time. Although it was too late to send updated info in to the Tribunal folk, I did at least get to chat to someone at Salford Royal Neuro last week. There's been back and forth between him and my GP, notes about further bad balance issues, things like that. So, we'll be taking all that stuff with us. The guy who's helping us (from the Town Hall CAB folk) has said that, although it's "new information", it's further information about a previous symptom, not "a new thing.." so they should accept it within the rules of the tribunal service. .. apparently! Let's see how well Take Two goes.. time for another few weeks of worrying and fretting. Oh joy.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
