I am feeeling very angry right now. last week I went for a medical to check my Personal Capability Assessment to see if I was able to claim disabilty benefit. The whole thing was a complete joke the questions the "specially trained doctor" asked me were a load of rubbish. I knew from the questions I was asked that I would not get it. She asked me qustion that really took no account of my individual circumstances or even how my problem effected some areas of my life. I get the feeling she could only click on answers that were simple like yes or no.
Needless to say I have been refused I got the letter yesterday despite my doctor giving me a medical certificate for a futher 12 weeks. I am however going to appeal because I feel that this assessment is heavily biased toward the physically disabled wich is totally wrong. Those of us who live with sp or even some other type of anxiety wil know the way the whole of owr lives is marked.
Some question I was asked
Can you take a bath by yourself?
How did you get here today?
Can you get to the shops by yourself?
I won't continue with the rest they were too stupid for words. Needless to say the idea of having to look for work is really anxiety provoking for someone like me anyone eles had a similiar experience?
