Anybody else think that this is unfair? What about those that are unable to walk for 30 mins per day? Or even "at all"..... in my case

I'm right handed and my right hand is semi paralysed due to damage to 2 out of 3 nerves. I'm on highest dose of pregabulin for nerve pain that I presume is…

All i can think is that due to the massive backlogs in processing claims/reviews they…

I don’t remember the exact moment I collapsed on the night of 24 May 1990. What I remember is the feeling that had been building all day — a kind of internal trembling, as if something inside me was loosening, slipping, preparing to give way. I was twenty‑six, trying to keep up with the demands placed on me: the Civil…

Hi, Just looking for some reassurance as to a second UC review appointment. Any similar experiences? Our review has been going on for months now. We had our review calls about a month ago.
