    My Son has called DWP to confirm that his appeal and 3 months sick note have been received.
    This wa sent Recorded Delivery 3 weeks ago.
    He has just spent his last 5 pounds visiting his GP for a blood test, which is weekly as his Pottasium is low. This was diagnosed by the Hospital 2 weeks ago. He has been admitted to Hospital as an Emergency 3 times in the last 7 weeks.
    He has now been told that on Tuesday, his payment day, there will be no money for possibly 3 months!
    He has been told to apply for a Crisis Loan but it would cost 5.40 to travel to the nearest Jobcentre.
    I have asked a friend to take me on the 60 miles round trip to take him some money.
    As I am retired, it will be very difficult to finance him for 3 months.
    I can't beleive this is happening as he has only been on Income Support since he became ill.

    Has he got a problem with his pancreas?

    That is possible and he has another appointment to see what will be the 4th specialist.
