They are brilliant articles Kicking. The future is bleak now; next April I probably will not cope with the poverty thrust upon me by these tyrants.

Hi Dj,

Whens you review mine is march 28 2011 im on IS at the moment im worried to..

I got my appeal tribunal on Monday 15th November to get my IB re-instated (I hope). Then I will be migrated to ESA next year and I may not appeal, I might just go on JSA because I only have sciatica and depression.

 

I'm 56 and I did try working again a few years ago and I got very ill.

Thank you for the link to that Guardian article - makes scary reading though doesn't it I'm on ESA following a brain haemorrhage and brain surgery. I got a total of ZERO POINTS at my ESA medical. It's a farce.

It is my first let-down medical, I scored 20 odd points on 2 previous assessments. Then I get 2 points for the same problems (actually worse because I'm on stronger meds now).

 

I will post after my tribunal, a win will help me for a little while and a lose will hurt quite a bit.
