It sounds like you could be depressed - my advice is to go and see your GP to discuss your options.

All the best - I wish you well.

They will send it to the decision centre who will see that you can't get there and therefore shouldn't give you a sanction. They might suggest considering taxi's but I don't think they can give a sanction based on that idea.

Hi David
sounds like you need to take a step at a time go to see your gp discuss your polpyps explain how bad they affect you surely they can be treated also tell him how down you feel you may need a little help to get you over this tough time.You should also go back to the job centre and make them very aware of your transport problems,yes its tough in the job market but even they must realise not everyone can get transport.
Please try to go and talk to someone or keep posting on here because we all wish you well and don't want you to feel you are alone
you posted about your gp appointment whilst I was typing hope all goes well

do not take them as they are really not good for you. You need someone to talk to

Sorry hate to disagree but some people benefit from anti-depressions. Me for one i be a total mess without mine which is not good for my kids.
I agree talking to someone does help but for counselling you can wait months and months, I am waiting for my 3rd lot and i get knocked to top of list with having child under 1 and i been waiting since Dec after my assesment.
Please go see your doctor and be totally honest on how your feeling and i really hope they listern and can help

Some, not all! We agree to disagree as they killed my aunt after becomeing addicted to them and she never got off them.

I did say some people, I think if managed by doctor they can help, I have been off mine for 8 months when i found out i was expecting but since having son i am back on them. Be on and off for a few years since my 1st daughter died. xx

Giving medical advice is forbidden on this forum.

OP needs to see a doctor who can give medical advice based on all the facts.

polyps are very easily treatable. When you see your GP i would advise that you also ask for a referral to your local ENT department. They are treatable in some cases with steroids, but some do need treatment with surgery.
