I suffer from COPD(significant),carpel tunnel syndrome in both hands (had surgery,no improvement),torn shoulder ligaments,(2 operations,first little success,still recovering from second).Osteophytes,(shattered bone fragments) removed from shoulder.I need a replacement shoulder but have been strongly advised against this due to my chest problems and a strong possibility of contacting pneumonia on recovery.Sciatica,high cholesterol and severe breathlessness. I was on PIPs but had it refused on reassessment.The assessor said I had a strong handshake,(I could only use my thumb and one finger When I tried to explain my problems she told me "Ican't listen to you and type at the same time".The rest of the report were just outright lies. I am still waiting for a Tribunal date after over 8 months.

Thanks for your reply,my 22 year old son is my carer,he bathes,dresses and helps me with my toilet needs.I cant survive without him but when his carers allowance was stopped they told him he had to look for a job.He refused and has had all of his income stopped and the authorities now chasing him for unpaid N.I.contributions.You just cant talk to these people. Just on another note,my wife has progressive MS and is completely immobile. We get letters at least twice a month asking her to attend interviews for their back to work scheme.0
