I was also wondering how you were getting on with the DWP

Got to have my work focussed interview tomorrow - very scared , this is supposed to happen after you have been on ESA WRAG for 8 weeks, I will have been on it less than 4, the re-consideration can take up to three months to be dealt with. I am scared to leave the house, I daren't order any new clothes in case I can't afford to pay for them, not sure if it is the stress or my hypothyroidism but my hair is starting to fall out

I am supposed to be getting my hair done at the end of this month - I will need to cancel that as well

The WFI aren't bad at all and nothing to be scared off.Once they see how ill you are they won't want to see you often and may actually conduct them over the phone instead.
Am so sorry to hear that you're going through all this stress and upset.I really don't know what to suggest.
Have you looked in to whether if you can claim tax credits on DR Dragons wage?

I don't think we can as he earns too much (likewise if I have to go on income based ESA I won't get any ), mind you OT coming next week to see where they can help!

We were in exactly the same position when mine stopped due to contribution based running out and then him earning too much for income based.The biggest insult is that they acknowledge you are sick and then you can't have any money whereas if you'd been a lazy couple you'd get it...it's so irritating

*big general hugs*

Hope you're ok after the interview, sweetie.

Okay here is how it stands, yesterday morning Dr Dragon got a phone call, they had finally got around to reading the letter that states that Dr Dragon is dealing with all of this as I can't! :mad:, up shot was a phone interview yesterday afternoon (half an hour late - she didn't want to leave a meeting with her boss, forget the fact that the disabled lady is hyperventilating from stress and worried that we got it wrong and I should have gone in and they were going to stop all my money and ...... breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), the only things that the half hour interview seems to have achieved is she thinks I should be in the support group (but not her decision so .. sorry!) and another interview over the phone in two months time :mad:

Meanwhile I have lost another three pounds in weight this week :T, still a long way to go though :rotfl:
