Jimm_Scope

Sandy_123

Had an awful night. Could not sleep. I am so anxious today. I have nightmares about the assessment. If they say no.. I feel anxious about the change to universal credit . My brain can't ever rest.

Jimm_Scope

@Schildpad The waiting is hard I know. You have plenty of appeal opportunities though! And we're here to help guide you if you are unsure about what to do. Unfortunately with the waiting there isn't much that can be done… Just if there's any good distraction that usually works for you? A book, tv show, game you like.

Dull here 16 degrees

Having a coffee we've done both lawns, they look nice. It's so hot tho

Rachel_Scope

You've done well to mow the grass @Sandy_123 in this heat. I'm surprised you didn't melt!

Good afternoon everyone 😊. Take care of yourselves everyone 💜

Schildpad

Thank you @Jimm_Scope I try to forget about it. There is too much stress on appeals etc. They send it late.. when you get the answer it is always like a week late so you have less time to get the mandatory consideration etc.. too much stress. But i do not know maybe i passed. I heard it is better now than it was a decade ago etc . But never passed the first time. Always have to senfd the mandatory reconsideration. But I am tired of all this fighting.

Even if I passed. They will do another assessment in the future. I don't understand. Those assessments are done by people with no medical background. Or I very much doubt they have it.. it should be done in a clinic or a hospital. They used the most depressing locations. Next time they will chose a jail .. they do it on purpose to make you feel unwelcome.

One of the conservatory windows has shattered into a squillion pieces.

Teigr

That sounds rough @Schildpad.

Our daughter's ex-boyfriend was supposed to have an assessment at our house,but he got so worked up about it he had a seizure and the assessment was cancelled.

Schildpad

@Teigr

Sorry about the seizure hope he is better. Yes this people get everyone to the edge . They make us sicker .. I did my best not to get sick in any way because the assessment had to happen. I was told come with someone but that meant to cancel and move it for another day. No. I would have had a heart attack. But as I said in other posts. They don't care. It is private so they are trying to exploit us as much as possible.

It is simply not fair. They want us to give up and stop. For them we are a burden.

Teigr

It was a while ago now @Schildpad,he's working at the moment but he needs an operation and it can't be done until his seizures are under control.

Sandy_123

Wow how did that happen @teigr

Dr prescribed steroid cream and after walking to the chemist they don't have it, also can't print the script off, so it has to go back to the Dr to be signed then sent to boots. Honestly, you can't make it up

Teigr

I'm not sure @Sandy_123 ,a flaw in the glass or maybe a change in temperature.

I was in the garden when I heard an almighty bang and when I stepped up onto the deck I saw the damage.

Teigr

I hope it's not the cream that was prescribed for me @Sandy_123 ,I haven't been able to get it for about four years.🙄

Schildpad

@Teigr I hope no more incidents happen with the glass.. as they said when bad things happen tend to come in rows. The seizures part is not something that can be controlled. But understand why the operation can not be done. But I wish there were a magic pill. I would love a magic pill to stop all the diseases and illnesses.. nobody chooses being sick. And what is available helps very little.

Sandy_123

Crikey I've had that happen with a garden table which is why I'd never have glass again
