I'm a long-term chronic pain sufferer who has learnt to cope with my disability! I'm 68 so retired.... widowed so live alone and as such depend on my Disability Benefits. Most of the time you learn to cope.....until they yet again change the rules and you have to readjust all over again. My biggest gripe is the way the official documentation doesn't arrive till weeks after a change is made... so you have no proof to supply to other agencies that are affected by the change/s. That together with the trees that are sacrificed on the altar of beurocracy when they do finally send out the information! Sorry about the rant!!!
