I am wondering has anyone been in the same boat as me.
I have spondylitis, fibromyalgia, lordosis.
I have received pip and esa up until 2016 then I was put on highrate pip mobility and my esa was stopped and i was put on Income support. So I am an owner struggling to attend appointmenments to receive money. The lady I see at the job centre said I am on the wrong benefits but I applied the derision when I was facing the switch to Is.
I can onistly say I have had a rereallbad experience with tribunals and meetings with support workers. I am tritr of this every year since i became ill. It all started when I was 18 years old and I when in to hospital with meningitis and was left unable to walk.
Is it my age the keeps discriminating me and the fact that I'm young and keep getting told you can go to work and sit in your chair.
