Just got the email, he is taking it up with my team.
Have replied asking if the issue can be investigated nationwide as sure I'm not the only one and think this kind of treatment from people who are meant to be supporting and helping us is disgusting.

    Hi @Bettahm, glad that you were able to get a response from your MP. Hopefully they can investigate further and find out if anything can be done about your case and anyone else that's had similar problems.

    Keep us all informed on how it goes :)

    I've read on other forums where people have been discharged, no reason given and not even letting them know, like me.
    So it's a thing with cmhts and it's bad considering the states of the people they are working with.
    I've asked mp but kind of dont think he will start an investigation into this letting down of people with mental health problems, people cmhts are suppose to help.
    Not when the govt are making changes to the WCA and from what I've read dont have a clue what they're talking about re mental health.
    Thought it was worth asking though (he is a tory)
    At least I should find out when and why I was discharged. 
    Certainly not because my conditions were getting better.

    That doesn't sound good at all @Bettahm, especially when people are already struggling so much. 

    Hopefully you can get some answers, it's worth a try.
