I don't know (I haven't been asked to migrate to UC because I reach state pension age this year), but if you're a member of Benefits & Work you...
They apparently have people who do home visits, and can facilitate doing stuff by phone. As their timelines for progressing anything are so long,...
I think it probably does, which is why we haven't got very far. Even if the whole BPS thing had never happened and all that money had gone into...
I make a point of reading the Tony Benn quote at the foot of @Andy's posts for every one of these so-called studies. It's the only way I can make...
Yes, definitely, but it's hard to know what they are until someone studies the illness course properly. People use relapsing/remitting because...
I suspect the dropout rates would be a lot higher if the interventions were longer. These time-limited interventions seem specially designed to...
No, not always. Take MS for instance. The relapsing/remitting group includes people who're on a downward trajectory, where every relapse is a...
I wish I could read the word "Albertans" without putting the stress on the first and last syllables, so that in my head it sounds like a planet in...

That's good by their standards. :thumbsup: I'm not sure PIP's ever really straightforward. I've received the higher mobility element for years,...
Thanks, it was a huge relief! I seem to have been quite lucky, I've only had three assessments in all those years. The first two were done for...
Isn't it based on a significant misunderstanding? The therapy is for pain and depression—that's not long Covid. I wonder if it would just provoke...
I looked too, but didn't find anything. I wonder if it suits them not to be too specific about it. They've put me on 10-year review, without even...
But you have to go for consultation to get the prescription, and they'll probably want to do a whole load of tests first, then there'll be more...
Yes, I scanned my form in and typed my answers onto the scans. [ETA: sorry, this was in reply to @Eleanor] I also waited months and months for...
I wonder if some people might assume it's footage from the inquest, and vote No because it would seem inappropriate? Maybe: "Do you want to be...
Thanks for posting this, @Trish, it's a good idea. I'll post my first thoughts here, then edit it when other folk remind me of things I forgot to...
