My name is julie I am a nurse and struggle at work everyday , I can only work part time because of my problems which are chronic back pain due to osteoarthritis and an intramedullary cavernous I have also had an ld breast reconstruction due to breast cancer. I am on morphine and other analgesia, I was previously on dla but got turned down the last time I applied and told that I had claimed fraudulently, there was an enquiry which was unfounded, but I still have to work to live .not all days are the same I do have good days and good periods on some days but it's still stressful.

Hi @julieb,
Welcome to the community.
Sorry to hear what you've been through. Have you tried applying for PIP? It might also be worth looking to see if there's anything else you might be eligible for.
Hope you find the community useful. You might be interested in our group about DLA/PIP and our group about dealing with chronic pain.
