Re: UK disability problems

Thank you :-) Yes we have to fight for it here too, but when I last applied I

was paralyzed, couldn't speak, couldn't talk on the phone and my Mam wouldn't

help me so it had to be left when I was turned down as i ended up even more

seriously ill just filling out the 40 page book to begin with.

I'm still waiting for the citizens advice bureau to ring me back with someone to

help me.

I think around 3 million are going to be made homeless in the UK after January,

the area where I live haven't even bothered to inform me that I'll be one of the

ones affected with all of the government cuts. I only found out by chance.

There's not much help for anyone in this country anymore let alone people with

ME.

I'm off to an ME meeting tonight to see if they can point me somewhere where I

can get help with getting disability as its my only hope really of not living on

the streets next year.

I already have to choose between buying foods or the supplements I need to

vaguely function as a human being on a regular basis, after the cuts I won't be

able to buy meds or my supplements nor my rent, so I'll be needing disability

anyway regardless as I'll have to go back to the barely alive vegetable I really

am without my supplements and once i decline to that level of living again, I'll

not be well enough to fight for disability again.

Just a case of finding someone to help me get it, hopefully I'll get some phone

numbers this evening. The disability booklet is even thicker now approx. 55

pages, oh joy!

Thanks again for the replies, i just needed to vent before I had a meltdown :-)

Lots a love,

I have to get my documents in order before my hearing. I am not up for the

drive, for I don't know if I can make a round trip.

I am running low on meds and have applied for free or cheap. I hope I get

approved. It's run thru programs direct with the drug maker.

I know the feeling of needing to vent. I am sick and tired of being sick

and tired.
