    I should have been out in support group.  And thought I was. But then they srarted sending me to work activity 10miles away from home. I dont travel alone, so alkways having someone to go with me is difficult.   I find it very stressful.  I have lung problems also.just be diagnosised COPD.  I got 0 points awarded. Im on severely disability.  So befor goal post was moved by dwp I met requirements.  It just seens now we all fit the same box. Im back having to request sick notes,  the appeal has started to tribunal but still a 28weeks back log!
