Re: Benefit F-up
Ok what happened with me.
I got a medical form to fill out first. Sent that off to them and recieved a letter back the next again week asking me to attend a medical Assessment. With being agoraphobic, there is absolutely no way i could travel the 25 miles to get there. I rang them and they were very nice indeed. I was told to have my GP fax them with details of my illness and why i can't attend which mt Gp did straight away. I am now awaiting an appointment for one of the medical team to come and assess me at home.
On the down side, they may decide my fate the same as yours as i have heard they are very strict indeed.
When i was told to swap benefits from Income support to EAS the powers that be neglected to tell me i had to claim child tax credits for my son resulting on us living on £89 per week until they sort this out.
I think you should make an appointment to see an advisor at your local job centre as they very good in helping you either decide on employment that would suit you, or advice you on which benefit you should now claim!
Hang in there hun
