A long shot, I know, but I am currently being migrated form IB to the MRAG ESA group which means the UK gov expct me to find work with in a year despite Dr S stating ’ this woman cannot work’. So I have to take my case to a tribunal. This stress has of course worsened my symptoms . Is any one else having the same issues?
Hi Fiona
I think you should make an appointment with Citizens Advice and find out what your options are. I know I was disallowed disability because I own a house in the UK and they wanted me to sell that to support myself (why do you think I’m living in NZ? :? ). The UK system is enough to send anyone’s stress levels orbital!
Get some proper advice and good luck. How is the Lyrica going?
Hi Fiona, sorry to hear you’re having problems. Muppo gives good advice in talking to Citizens advice, but I know it can be hard to actually get to see them these days! When this first hit me and I was struggling really bad with anxiety I was looking a at forum called ‘no more panic’. There was quite alot on there about this and it may be worth you having a look? Or there may be other forums with advice? Unfortunately, as normal, because this is ‘invisible’ unless you get good counsel you could struggle.
Make sure you get good advice and stick to your guns. I really struggle with work and I think the time is going to come when they’re going to do me on capability so I really feel for you. I know it’s hard but try not to stress.
Like Muppo says, how you doing on the Lyrica?
Take care
Tracey
