I don't need to prove some people claiming IB/ESA are malingerers . I believe the DWP stats do that.

You 'believe' - not 'know'? Now that sounds credible. :rotfl:

I've just sent my 2nd form off.

Can you learn a simole task like sertting an alarm clock, my reply: I haven't had a new alarm clock in years so can't say if I could learn to set a new one.

Washing machine one I replied, yes but then the clothes all need washing again as they can be left in there for days on end and smell.

agghhh... I hope those answers don't come back to haunt!

To be honest I'm past caring. When the job centre arranged for me to go on the work programme I told them there and then to cancel my esa as all this hassle just aggravates my depression and anxiety. Of course she refused to do that saying I'm not well enough yet to be placed on jsa. I wouldn't claim jsa though. I'd just starve.

I have been very sarcastic throughout the whole of the form and at the end I wrote; now just leave me alone to get well again.

Wow...lol... I think you should set yourself up as an advisor on how to fill in the ESA50. But I suppose your GP has come up trumps.

What an interesting case. 'Well done'..lol.. and hopefully the next assessment is a long way off and your health improves.

I just filled it in how I felt at the time.

ask me stupid questions and I will reply with a stupid answer

my gp has worked hard for last 2 weeks and it isn't all wonderful, I have been heavily sedated andi yet still waiting to see a psychiaratrist, my head is screwed. I am still convinced itwould be best to buy 100 zopiclone at 7.5mg from the internet as I did for my last overdose.

Until somebody has been in the position that they have had to fill out these forms, they can never really know how much they take out of you. I am on my partners claim, so they leave me alone, but filling out the forms for him was so difficult, especially with the new questions like can you use a keyboard and mouse? Yes he can, he can type, but ask him to learn to use a new computer programme, and he will eventualy learn it inside out, after a few weeks to learn the basics. Now show me an employer who can afford to spend a few weeks teaching someone to use a programme, and then the rest of the job?

The questionairs are freaking people out. I am so glad I don't have to do one, I have an autoimmune disease, and trust me, they can mess you up, as it is your body attacking itself, and with mine, it also causes mental health issues, and adrenal fatigue. I would dread having to explain that to ATOS.

Yeah motivation being the biggie. I hope they get your meds levels sorted so you can regain some sort of normality, with out being zombified. I was diagnosed with depression before I was properly diagnosed with hashimotos disease, and the anti d's they gave me made me numb. that was not the way I wanted to live.

I'm due tramadol, diazepam and trazadone in 30 mins that will knock me out for 10/12 hours despite still feeling the effects of the lat doses, but I'm alive ad not sectioned :-)
