Hello everyone,
I am in the process of applying for benefits as I've been suffering with anxiety and depression since February of last year, and at the moment am unable to leave the house on my own. My husband works two jobs and we were coping financially, unfortunately his hours have been reduced so I'm just asking for help until I'm able to go back to work. For some reason I feel really bad about having to apply I feel guilty, as I think that a lot of people see people on benefits as scrounges, but if I can't leave the house on my own how can I go to work.
I guess I'm just asking how other people feel about this? Also my doctors certificate was only dated for 2 months is that normal, does that mean that he thinks I should try to go to work in two months, as at this point that feels impossible and adds to my anxiety. I'm just really worried about this whole process as have read some posts on here of people being treated badly by the works department. Any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you,
Agnes
