    @andy2765, it looks as if you are stuck in the benefits system of claiming, appealing and going round again. Its not a nice life wondering if I will get my benefits or not trying to make the money go round, hopefully other members will give you their opinion and advice on how to move forward.

    The government should be held accountable for the extreme poverty they plunge disabled people into.  The more poverty you endure the more your energy levels drop so you become literally unable to fight them. How many people die from this poverty? I knew 2 people personally and i barely survived it myself and it left me with more mentAl health problems that i initially had. At least these sites are here and we can help each other and bolster eachother up a little bit. 
    It's so wrong though. 
    Many disabled people can't even afford the Internet to get on these sites in the first place. 
    I hate the government of this country as they seem to despise people with health needs, many who have paid into the system they now need to access and are tricked, fooled, dismissed and stopped every inch of the way. 
    Keep fighting for what you need because the alternative is not an option for any of us. 
    I will always fight. I might not win for myself but hopefully my fight will benefit someone else down the line. 
    You don't know how much inner strength you have until your backs against the wall. We are still people and still valuable to this society no matter what the govt secretly thinks or schemes.

    Here here !  well said everyone.
    I think its wonderful that we can share our thoughts and fears.
    So many of us have to struggel on our own. Family and freinds having deserted us.
     .because of our illness.
