Hi, my name is MumPoll!

in Start here and say hello!
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!!!
