    @Schildpad Most of the time it is a year but under some circumstances where it was down to an error of law, it can be disregarded for the length of the claim. There's a little bit of information on this PDF if that's accessible to you. If you're not too sure, it may be worth getting in touch with a benefits adviser to see where you stand. You could try searching on the Turn2Us - AdviceFinder or contacting Citizen's Advice ☺️

    Thank you. Will read the attachment. It if long but I will.. I will not think too much about it . But he said it does not count As income.. I hope he did not lie. Will see the coming letter. When I read the letter will see.. but to be honest this is too distressing in general. Always scared about it. They cut or they don't.cut the benefits. If I could do something I would rather be on work. But not sure I could cope with it.. it is not wort it.it is very hard to carry on everyday.. and of course they will move to UC eventually. I hope they leave me alone this year but surely will be next year. Still I feel very suspicious but let see what happens. Now will try to relax.. but hard to. I feel eventually they will cut them.. all.governments are attacking,. . Good night.

    I didn't sleep last night so I'm really tired and aching all over from my fibromyalgia.

    Morning luvpink, sorry to hear about your condition. From chats with someone, I believe it flares up worse some days than others?

    My day started well as I took car to get alloy wheels "dipped" and repainted to remove awful high kerb scratches. They are a nice friendly bunch you in Middlesbrough.

    The walk back home is very pleasant.

    @BroughAndy

    Hi thank you.

    Yes fibromyalgia is a fluctuating condition and I am in a flare up today but the sun is shining here and I'm going out later with some friends to a little fishing village by the sea, not far from where we live.

    My pulse is dangerously high

    I've got to take beta blocker s tk get heart rate down

    Need blood thinners, but have to wait for blood test results

    I've been referred to cardiology

    Also I went Dr's because of high pulse and numb feet and crooked toes

    I'm. Seeing the rheumatology on tues. He wil. Sort out the numbness.thinks it's linked to my lupus

    I. Have a fungal infection in my toes

    And severe osteoarthritis

    Need xrays and a referral to podiatry isnowsame day as rhemotology Tues 430 for feet

    12 20 for rhemotology

    I've made it to the pharmacy

    Not sure I want beta blocker s

    Good job I do regular BP. Checks as my pulse is always 40 or 50

    Just thinking of you @Amberpearl , it's not surprising you feel upset and stressed, you've got an awful lot going on all at once.

    Sending hugs and, just to say, when I went on beta blockers 2.5 years ago they started to work pretty quickly (wasn't for AF but used alongside hypertensive medication to reduce blood pressure and arrhythmias/fast pulse which was very reassuring for me).

    Take good care and I hope tonight you rest and I'm glad you've not got too long to wait for some of your appts next Tuesday. Sending hugs and very warmest of wishes to you. Maybe cuddle up with your lovely cats tonight xx
