Democracy , free speech don't make me laugh

Well everyone, we went to the appeal and it was granted. This certainly is one in the eye for the income support and incapacity benefits office, who it seems did not beleive her. I dont know if I mentioned it before but I was told once by a guy who worked in the income support office that they had targets to meet of how many people they could throw off the benefits system, he only told me this as he was leaving their employment as he could not stand it anymore. He was one of the nice guys there and there was not many. Problem is they try throwing the genuine people off as well as the non genuine. Its is so unfair but I would advise the genuine people out their to appeal if they get their money stopped. My daughter will now get her money back dated from January to August and she will continue to get full incapacity benefit. Thanks for everyones support, it really helped us get through all this.

No not been prescribed anything yet, we have to wait and see what happens next. He's not over weight although he thinks he is and he excerises far too much. He also gets these headaches when he plays football but not all the time. We've read about propanolol and the consultant at the hospital said he may have to go on it or on amitriptyline. I've sent you a pm as you seem to know something about it and I would like to ask a question or two.

My 18 year old son has just been diagnosed with coital cephalgia. I am worried sick as when you look on the internet it mentions sub arachnoid bleed (which is like a brain haemorrage) 'excuse spelling'. Its an embarrassing condition and I know a lot of people won't want to talk about it, but any input would be appreciated.

hi Guys Well we got a decision today. Incapacity Benefit are going to grant her new claim and will back date her claim to 9th April. This at least has restored a bit of faith in the shambolic system. We are so pleased. Still going to fight the other appeal though. Got fantastic medical evidence from her consultant and GP to go to the next appeal hearing so watch this space. (Can't believe I'm this happy that the doctors say how bad my daughter is but they did'nt believe us - as if we'd lie about something like this) I'm a big believer in fate, if you're good then good things happen back, if you tell the truth then everything is alright. Was beginning to doubt a little but hey presto things looking up. Speak to you all soon

Thank you and you have actually made me smile, to be honest this is becoming quite addictive, I've found myself checking to see if anyone has replied even when I'm at work like now. Thanks for all the feedback and I must say you sound like a knowledgable and very nice person. (Thanks to everyone else as well). Seeing the advice worker at 1.45 today so will know more later Marie

Hi Read reply from verydull who seems to know exactly why she gets income support. She does not qualify for incapacity benefit because she has not paid enough contributions. She was receiving a reduced rate because we appealled against their decision to kick her off income support saying she was fit for work. They said she should claim JSA but then she would be lying saying she was fit for work, because unless there is a job where she can lay down for 8 hours a day (because thats the only time she is not in pain) then she should claim JSA. Our doctor and consultant state she is not fit for any kind of work at the moment. This went to a tribunal even though we asked for an oral hearing they went ahead with a paper hearing and the decision to stop her money was upheld. We are now fighting that dicision with whats called a set aside and I don't know if they can legally stop her money but they have done. So now she gets nothing until a decision is made to have an oral hearing as originally requested. To be honest I bet you are no wiser because I hardly understand it all myself but good luck with it. Thanks for asking though

Hi Just an update. My daughters housing benefit has just been stopped so now another huge form to fill in. Why can't they just leave it alone until its sorted out. They waste more of their time, paper, postage and not to mention my time. Well I'm not filling it in until I get a decision from them about her income support, don't even know if she will be entitled as they say she can work and myself and her doctors say she can't. Marie

I think you're fantastic. I'll take a look at that site tonight. Marie

This is exactly right - thank you

Hi I've worked in 2 Nursing Homes as an Administrator for the past 3 years (2 1/2years in an EMI nursing home and 6 months in a learning disabilities nursing home) and this is quite common for people to feel guilty when their loved ones have to go into a home. Put it this way, you say his quality of life is zero and I bet yours feels the same but you cannot carry on like this indefinately. Get Social Services in to help and advise, depending where you live I could always have a look on the internet for a good home and maybe even be able to recommend one if I know your area. Its hard I know but my relative moved into the home i used to work at and although she was very confused she seemed to enjoy her life. We had residents in the nursing home that had been there for years so don't think that he wont last long because you just don't know. Dont struggle for long its not good for you either. Marie

hi I had my first panic attack about 3 months ago, aged 48. I thought I was going to die. it started with a thudding in the back of my neck and then I could'nt see properly. I noticed the my breathing had become heavy and I had pins and needles in my hands and arms. I had had a lot of stress and I think thats what caused it. I try to be a postivie person but this floored me. I had to dash for the window as I could not breath. My daughter paniced and shouted my husband who carried me out side and told me to slow my breathing down. My tongue went numb and I really thought this is it my time is up. I slowed my breathing down and my daughter said mum you've had a panic attack. I did'nt believe her at first but it did start to make sense and my hubby had a go a little go at me for worrying about everything. I said to my family this cannot happen to me I got too much to worry about already without this as well. The next night I started to have another, I started to waffle on to my kids about anything to take my mind off it and my eldest daughter said mum you're having a panic attack again arn't you. I said no way I'm not letting this affect me anymore and I have not had one since. I'm not saying its that easy for everyone and I pity anyone that has them but my yourgest daughter needs me and I can't let this get the better of me. I really hope the poster gets better or help soon. Good luck Marie

Thank you, I've never been on this part of the forum before, but it does make me feel better getting things off my chest so to speak.
