Hi again. I have my MRI on Monday. I have been having symptoms on and off for 20+ yrs. I left it so long to find out what was happening to me because of the treatment I had from consultant and one particular Dr. In hindsight I wished I’d been more assertive. There was no support like this yrs ago. So thank you. The ‘episode’ Im going through at the moment has been pretty horrible and have had to take time off work again. I have come to the conclusion that I cannot work full time as it makes things a whole lot worse. But I cannot afford to lose any wages. Are there any benefits that I can claim while working. I dont need physical help but help so that I can reduce my hrs and basically sleep!
Have you looked into disability living allowance? I’m not sure what the remit is for this but I’m fairly sure you can work and claim it. It’s more about enabling you to live your life effectively. Obviously benefit cuts are all around so that might impact but worth checking out on a website? K
Thank you for reply. After reading some of the posts on here my problems are really small compared to others.
Get they form have a look at it and see if you think you will qualify, that is the only way you will know, it depends on what effect your condition has on your day to day activities, you do not need to have any particular dx it is how you can manage that counts. Good luck.
