    I 100% agree. As for me, I can do SOME jobs, but not EVERY job and due to my own health condition which began early last year, I lost the job & career I had (in some ways a welcome change LOL!) due to my health condition and a lot of jobs and careers are now off the table for me for the same reason. Not all, but a lot, compared to before. And then, yes there are some of us here who would be able to do less jobs and careers than I. Some, maybe lots of us, who would like to work but just can't. I also think workplaces, employers, companies and so on need to do a LOT more to be more inclusive. I could do a whole rant on this one, but I know I'm preaching to the choir here! And if I start talking about this, I might never stop!

    This is my situation in that I COULD do my job and then things happened. And I agree that although in my situation it was physical, yes I agree that stress and anxiety can also cause this, 100%. Not just physical things, like in my case.

    Yes there is "hype" and yes it sells papers, but how do you see the latest "hype" where the DWP is again trying to put work coaches in the surgery with the doctors to get the doctors to agree to "some sort of work?"

    This goes against the Hippocratic Oath where the privacy of the patient-doctor is being invaded.

    It's bad enough being assessed for access to benefits and having to prove to someone you are ill enough to receive Financial help.
