you w ere abused? what do you mean someone from the mental health abused you?

i had to apply 3 times before i was accepted... you need to pile the poo on big time with them... if your in the uk go to the job centre they have a disability counciller there she can get you back to work, tell her you cant be around bla bla bla they will send a social worker with you for work and the social worker will be there with you till you dont need them and if you cant do it, you have the social worker and this person from the job centre to help you get the benifit... so if you dont have a physc cpn etc etc then try that you will be almost guarenteed to suceed...

Hi, yes I was on invalidity benefit after my sick pay from work ran out.
It was not difficult for me as I have virtually no time off at all before my illness and a superb doc (eventually)
I hated the thought of going onto them , but needs must.
Good Luck

Glenn

okay so how long do you have to wait minimum for all the paper work to be processed and get your first cheque? in canada they tell me it will take 8 months, and i'm really lucky that mine is going through so fast (yeah like after 8 months of bread and water i really need $8000, why not just let me suffer somemore?)

god you just feel like a dog in a cage, being poked at by government officials with sharp sticks just out of apathy
