stuff in the uk

[FOR REAL]

i just read it all, but theres no bug*er sending me back to work!!! i would rather starve to death::

Anyone got their "IB50 - Incapacity for work questionnaire form"? - MoneySavingExpert.com Forums

 

[FOR REAL]

theres some really daft questions on these forms like

"are you registered blind" well if i was, how would i manage to read it

After reading that I'm glad I've got a job to be honest. I don't think I would cope too well with having to see loads of doctors and go for medical checks where they try to catch you out every year. No doubt it's set up so everyone loses the benefit first time around and has to appeal.

There are exemptions though "a severe mental illness which severely and adversely affects mood or behavior and which severely restricts social functioning or awareness of immediate environment". Depends what they mean by severe.

I just filled mine in, not for anxiety though, for my ear-balance-thing-umy-jig

filled one in a year back, I think it's just routine to see if you are still ill

"are you registered blind" well if i was, how would i manage to read it

put "yes", "blind drunk"

I dunno if they have this in the UK, but over here all the drive-through bank machines have the buttons labeled in braille.

Drive through bank machines Never seen a drive through bank machine over here, we have to walk up to them.

Most official letters come with a letter telling you what other languages are available and also available in braille. How blind or non English readers can work that out and then request them I don't know.

I filled in my IB50 form, sent it off, then had a humiliating medical assessment, am now awaiting the results, probably will get turned down for ESA
