God! Don’t you just hate it when someone has the same idea as you but does it better than you?

Sorry to hear your problems – definately fill the form in as your WORST day – Mum was given the same advice. Sorry I’m so long in commenting on your blog – I kept losing your address in my favs. On a brighter note – have just listened to BritKnitCast while looking through your WoolFest photos and heard us and saw my in your Fyberspate photo – so strange but great to be reminded of such a great weekend. Hope you’re not getting too down about stupid forms etc – just have a cuddle of all your lovely fibery goodies and keep your chin up!! Take Care!

I totally empathise with your problems about IB. Remember, when you are filling out the form, that you should describe your condition as it is on the WORST day – not an average day. This info came from the CAB.
My wife’s experience with the doctor who performed the PCA was the opposite to yours. He tried to “suggest” answers beneficial to Marie’s claim. But she refused to lie, and lost her claim.
She is, however, getting the mobility allowance from DLA, since she can’t use public transport. Have you looked at getting this?
You are right – the benefit system is geared to make you feel worse – or, at least, encouraging you not to get any better. People with mental health issues get a raw deal.
Keep thinking positive & b***er the BA!

I could physically go and sign on (but mentally noooo) but I’m not at all ready to work. I claim income support (I have no idea why it isn’t IB) I’ve had two medicals (PCAs), last time the doctor basically asked me if I was the same as last time and that was me on IS again until the next one!
