I have just submitted my claim 10 days ago, to cut a long story short I have been off all year I have no strength from abdomen to chest so am bent over, cannot sit upright at all and cannot walk .i have after months been found to have 7 hernias in my abdomen and stomach, some up to 10cm long. and am in immense pain. virtually housebound now. I submitted the claim with nearly 200 documents and tests of my medical investigations, I stated I would need disabled parking as I was issued a blue badge, and would not be able to sit for an interview and would need to lie down.Im still employed as ive been assessed by the company and been given disability protection under 2010 legislation by my companys Occupational health via HR. Ive been called up and told im having an interview with a work coach and if I dont follow whatever commitment I am going to be given my claim may be denied. Ive never heard anything so ridiculous. Ive never had to claim anything in the 40 years that Ive been working and doing the same job for the same company. What are they going to ask me ? Surely not the same 99 questions on the form as it has exhausted (me) and my wife over the last 2 weeks doing it as she has had to do most of it due to my disability. The stupid little envelope you get to send it back in, I had to use a cardboard box it was a very thick wad. I dont believe they will even look at half of it as it seems too soon to be interviewing me to of gone through what I sent thoroughly.
