    Employment and Support Allowance

    I have been getting income support for 4 years and going to yearly medicals. I went to my last one in November for employment and support allowance. I have just had my letter and it says my money is stopping as of now. I apparantly scored 0 and am capable of working. How!!!

    I leave the house a couple of times a week and always go to the same place, town. I do the shops in the same routine and I walk as I buses make me panicky. I don't go anywhere new unless with my mum or sister and even then I usually cancel. I don't socialise, don't go on nights out, have no friends because I don't go anywhere to meet any. I don't and can't do anything because of my anxiety.

    I am on Sertraline and don't sleep at night because of the meds or worrying. I am like a zombie all day and feel so drained mentally and physically.

    I don't get how I scored 0 when I do nothing and go nowhere. I am a nervous wreck when someone just knocks at the door and don't answer. I don't use a landline phone as I don't know who is calling so only use a mobile.

    I just don't know what to do. How am I supposed to cope on nothing. I have no one to fall back on, no savings etc. I am in tears at the moment and can't see a way out
