I'm sorry if I go harping on I've only CARL58 interest's at heart I keep hearing horror stories about ESA & pip assessments.all the specialists that he had dropped him a few years ago social services as he couldn't engage with what they wanted to do so they dropped out psychiatrist said his problems run to deep so referred back to his gp pediatrics I think that's the right word discharged him a few years ago as they couldn't do nothing for his osteoarthritis until he's seizure free abuse and rape counselling had to stop because it was making him Ill and very distressed there's only me & gp I've known 10yrs and seen him at worst and going downhill year by year since the brain injury he swears nearly every other word and can't stop that can't make himself understood properly gets. Frustrated becomes abusive can't control that we've tried I've cried trying to see away forward with assessment's because I know how hard it is for him every single day I can count on one hand the last time he had a reasonable day nearly 2yrs ago he couldn't even tell you what's on TV or radio never has them on as hasno interest couldn't tell you what's happening in the world sorry for going on & on sorry jen
