It's an utter farce but with people being crushed in the process.
There's an understanding with the district nurses if the wound on my tummy opens
it splits open around 10 inches, it takes 2 of them owing to the severe risk of infection
Sepsis nearly had me in December, very often blood bags form and the burst like a B Horror movie, It nearly soaked the GP, We did warn him. Can you imagine trying to explain to them this let alone if one wanted to look which I will be making sure they do.
A shower is like an SAS military operation, it took my sister 6 weeks to learn how to do all the dressings, the General rule if custard like Green starts coming out then its an Emergency
Its not spoken about in the media but the undertone is consultants are pushovers.
No 3 of them went really nasty with me when I said I wanted it written down if I stop breathing again No dont intervene, then when I fully explained everything they saw this is not living. Worrying about the energy bills, when the bed linen is all full of muck , all the items the new wheelchair is a monster for taking energy, so is the new "Mobile" cushion for the chair
460 PPM the last energy bill was, 10 items are no longer provided by the NHS since 2011
If you have Chronic wounds they wont give Dry silver dressings, only ones that look like snot
utterly useless if you need to keep wounds dry.
The impact this condition has is so bad the doctors are using the photos to train students to show them so hopefully children will never have to go through the same as me thinking it was more sinister.
but there's only around 20 people in Europe with it , the dealings with the DWP have always been a nightmare, I need to make contact with them to change banks and I am utterly terrified

I think in my case the person who was advising me said as long as you got your full points for award it doesn’t matter. Well it would now. I think the assessor used tactics such as ignore that I can’t wash upper body and concentrate on the fact that I need other help such as getting in the bath. It makes me think was she aware this could be a problem in the future as she gave me an award of less than 2 years extending by dwp

I can't see Reeves lasting as Chancellor, irrespective of welfare. Changes to the Cash Isa alone will lose bye-electiins.

that didn’t happen in my case , she concentrated on getting in the bath and washing below the waist . I now know why. She also switched how far I can walk to how long for in minutes. My conditions fluctuate throughout the day and pain moves so one day I’m in agony with one arm then it moves to the other etc . It’s difficult answering questions when my symptoms change every day

Think this one will go to the wire. They’ll be tinkering with changes until tomorrow..and I think likely be watered down? Makes you wonder what the original version was like.😳 I’ll never vote for this shower of bandits again, they bear no resemblance to a Labour Party and indeed no resemblance to any ‘centre left’ party in the world.

I thought they were reducing lcwra and increasing basic rate . Then elsewhere I read there won’t be wca so no lcwra . We all have to engage and it’s to the work coach to decide how much we are capable of . This of course can’t be legal or safe as even assessors need some medical knowledge if I’m right. Not only that but if they’re forcing sick ppl to engage with work but cut our money we will surely just be placed on basic rate as looking for work and get the higher rate then . So where the savings be ? Hope that makes sense .

They're certainly not Labour Party I joined and paid into. I want a refund! Labour isn't socialist or vaguely social-democratic now. They are well to the right of Thatcher's "wets". I think you're correct. There'll be more tinkering after Oral Questions in the House this afternoon.

I can't listen to that women speak, if my tv wasn't so new i'd have thrown my cup of coffee at it yesterday, but price of coffee is too expensive too so I just sat and fumed at her horrible grating daleck voice. Is she even human , iv'e heard shes from the planet Skaro where the dalecks are from……..exterminate(disabled people probably)🤣

😂 Remember when they first got in and they were accepting freebies right , left and centre! Showing off their new outfits in press shoots and taking tickets to concerts and footie matches. We should have known what was going to happen…!

if they make me attend a job centre to see a work coach I will probably have to crawl on the floor and end up in hospital.

Does anyone know if Poppy12345 is still a member on here?

I think maybe they do for PIP.
I thought you were talking about being reviewed for LCWRA, as on my award letter for LCWRA it has no review date, it just says we may ask you to attend another work capability assessment in the future.

all 3 psychopaths . Starmer definitely. His behind this mr flip flop persona and ppl fell for it . Once in office the real him came out . No empathy or personality. The other two just joined the wrong party , guess the Tory’s didn’t want them .
