    Me neither. Although it's from IB to ESA, and it's not looking very straightforward at all. I suspect that the whole system will fall apart before the transition's finished, it's creaking and groaning under the weight of it all now. Maybe next time they change the system they'll actually train staff and sort out all the regulations before they start instead of making it up as they go along!

    The techie board have stopped laughing at me now, and instead are outright insulting me. It used to be so helpful and supportive too.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hugs Ames - that's not very nice of them.

    I'm on severe disablement allowance and income support, and higher rate of both DLA components. They're not trying to change my benefits at all (yet), but I thought the course could be good for helping me to manage my conditions. But they do seem to be of the opinion that no-one should be unable to work. It's nothing to do with benefits, it's an NHS thing, which is what I find a bit worrying, they're supposed to be on our sides, not just mouthpieces for the DWP. And now I'll get off my soapbox...

    Ames, ignore the techy board. If they can't be nice don't bother listening to them.

    Claire, I did the trilby as I'd always wanted one, but didn't like the plain boring ones.

    Sorry Ames, I appear to have taken your thread slightly off topic, although they weren't exactly being helpful in any case. :rotfl:
