Ive looked online & they are really expensive.

I bought some mastectomy bra's though as they are alot more comfortable on my scars.

But you get given them on the NHS - they have a proper fitting service as well!

And maybe some os us would wish that the only 'pressing' health matter had was a dodgy bit skin but then realise that if you have kids you keep going on and don't contemplate leaving them.

I would swap my health issues with BCS any day of the week and I'm sure there are 'others' that would too.

I'm not really sure what that meant tbh?

That's really sad, and you have my utmost sympathy.

But the two issues are completely unrelated.

To come to trial takes much longer than youve been led to believe and its not what YOUR doctors say and not THERES either its what they AGREE on that matters and thats the crux of the matter, you dont have a clue and your solicitors arnt worth the ink you signed with if they havnt gone over every last point with you because youre going to be ripped to pieces by the other side long before trial.

I hope you understand the papers you have signed or in the worst case you could be paying back an insurance policy for the next 10 years.

Your pyschiatrist wants shooting, dont worry the other sides will be so much better and will wring out everything before your op that made you deppressed and they will have your medical notes to do that and evry life event will be brough up and they will hang your deppression on them as much as possible and your late dignosis of autism wont help, thats a life changing thing and happened in the same year as your surgery.

You`ll have to pay back DLA since the surgery is what you claim started your depression and that why you get it, infact its your main claim.

Personel injury trusts are a double edged sword because you cant use the money for what you want, if you invest it even over the past few years theres money to be made and Ive made cash doing that but Ive never wanted to be on means testesd benefits for the rest of my life, you must be because thats the whole point of the trusts, people who are going to work again arnt intrested on ring fencing there means tested benefits.

I have never claimed means tested benefits.

£267 a month for being ill:rotfl: IB, IS, tax credits, LHA, CTB, carers premium and child benefit plus the free prescription, glasses etc.

Just how much is that per month for you being ill then? Certainly not £267.

It's took 2 years for the solicitors to make my case, they submitted our claim on 30th May.

The defence get 1 month to decide whether to go to trial or whether to accept liability but we have agreed to give them a 3 month extension.

If it goes to trial it could take another 2 years from 30th September which I do know about.

I know they will get different doctors to access me but no one could say that what they have done to me is acceptable.

I will be returning to work once i'm fit & well which might not be for a couple more years & still have 25 years of working life in me unless they put the retirement age up then i'll have longer.

For some reason, many people don't count things like free eye tests, prescriptions, etc as "benefits" and therefore, don't count them in the true cost.

The kids I deal with have a lot of issues, but most of the time, if asked, they would not see themselves as any different to their classmates.

I know someone (not the person mentioned earlier) who is autistic and doesn't see himself as disabled. When he was talking about it last year, I remember him saying he's "lucky" compared to other autistic people.

Did one start? I recall asking politely what the random words you strung together meant. That's all.

No one has ever offered them to me.

Maybe I should ask my gp.

I know you think I've been having a go but I'm actually quite concerned as I fear the surgery is not going to transform your life in the way you hope.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I think you are in cloud cuckoo land!
