    I guess I'm just terrified of welfare reforms and being forced to get a full time job with no help and support - it makes sense to jump now with a parachute than to wait a few months and just get pushed, IYSWIM.

    This is where the support of your GP comes in - they're not going to kick people into work if they can't. They're more intent at getting those who are swinging it back into employment.

    Pooky, GP opinion counts for very little in the benefits assessments though.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Depends how you submit your forms. Ours was invaluable. They also get asked back up questions so having them on side is never a bad thing.

    Typically 2 of the kids supposed to be coming to the sleepover tomorrow have just bailed out.......thanks for the notice!!!! :mad:
