    I can't get Life insurance as I am to ill

    I work 15 miles away from home and the only way i can get there is to drive and petrol is expensive. I can't walk to far so If I had to go for public transport I would never get to work.

    Our local town doesn't give free parking even with a Blue Badge

    And I have to pay for a pre medical certificate which is 12 per month plus I have to buy things that I can't get on prescription like masks and chambers for my nebuliser that needs to be replaced every week or 2 and they are 3 quid a go.

    Clothes is a bit high but this is for foot wear, due to my bone problem I walk lobsided and wear the backs down so I have to buy a new pair of trainers a least once a month.

    Above all a bit excessive. Amazing how people going bankrupt can afford to live better than those that live within their means.

    eschaton - this isn't the place to judge people you don't know anything about me.

    having spoke to CCCS they have advised to add my food shopping up a bit to cover having to pay my 17 year old reative to come in an clean for me and to take me shopping in my wheel chair when my husband is at work.
    Also to cover my trips to the hospital at least once a month and to make sure I have money to buy food when I am off sick as I don't get sick pay.

    I work a good 50 hour week I can't really walk but I do to work. I was born disabled and have never been out of work. When I get home I can't really do a lot due to the pain or not being able to breath my doctors tell me to sit at home and claim benifits - something I won't do.

    And you Know what if I had a magic wand, or a fairy who will give me a wish the only thing I would ask for was not to be ill, and I would gladly use public transport I would love to be able to walk, and do what other take for granted. I was told to come on here as people are lovely and helpful...........
    wish I never bothered!

    Curly, please don't go. The people who post regularly on the BR board will help and support you through this. Sometimes you get the odd troll who thinks that Martins ethos for this board does not mean them. Please ignore them they don't post here and have no business judging you.

    Please stay here and get the help you need.

    hi curly you do not need to justify yourself on this board. there are many many people on here who are kind and will give you good advice i promise.
    99.9% of people will not judge you, as they don't know your situation, and i am sorry you have been upset by comments someone has made.
    please keep posting and there will be plenty of people who will give you help and support.
    sounds like you are in a lot of pain...hats off to you for keeping a full time job going that's incredible!!!:j

    Curly04 - welcome! Most of us are lovely people however you do get some who are opinionated but luckily they aren't regulars of this forum. Please ignore them and stay for the help you came for.

    As for your SOA - I agree with the comments made by TigerFeet so why don't you make those few changes and post it back on here.

    Good luck for next week!!
