Hi, my name is Mattmercy!

Hi, new to this group, not newly disabled though.
Looking to get back into work, but the fear of losing esa and having to return to it eventually is gutting. Plus, isn't it the case that new claimants are down £30pw??

So, I'm in Devon, into music, gaming, general fun stuff. Have twins who are 10 this year, divorced twice and that's about it!
