As I have said, difficulties should be seen as obstacles that can be got round using some igenuity. The effort spent in finding reasons or excuses why you can't is better spent in finding out how to.

Can you please find some other way to annoy the nation, rather than continually creating new accounts on MSE, and getting them banned for eventually reverting to type and ranting at people, following a short period of apparent sanity.

I suggest alligator juggling.
It should be well within the capabilities of anyone who is willing to find out how to.

Naw, tbh, I'm sure with a chair in the kitchen she could do more or attempt to and just have me go down to take it out the oven or whatever. There are veg that you can buy that just need washed etc. It's just easier for me to cook while I'm doing it for me and my son

The transfer to pip only affects working age claimants.
She will not be affected.

When will the transfers take place?

I understand that it will be from April 2013, but will it be done on the basis of as and when peoples awards come to an end? or will it be everyone come April? or maybe those on indefinite awards first?

For example, my award is due to come to an end in Feb 2014, so will it be a case of when the renewal forms are due I will be transferred at this point, or will it simply be a case of come April next year I will be asked to attend a medical, in which case my award realistically is only applicable to April 2013?

One other thing, I have heard it will be done on a regional basis, i.e northwest first, then north east, then midlands etc etc etc.. is this the case?

LRC = not being able to cook a meal using a traditional cooker and fresh ingredients.

Who today actually does that?

Most use a microwave.

That's those on LRC that should be kicked off for a start.

As an individual with serious digestive problems to put me into the disability category, I welcome your opinion but disagree with it. Maybe you don't have to live this way.

I am weak though my digestive system disorder needing constant medication, I am in and out of hospital. I am exhausted. I have had diagnosis. I go days without eating. For years I have been trying to maintain full time work (in same job)but can't as flare-ups are unpredictable and I don't know how long they will last. I can't be sociable.

NONE OF THIS IS CHOICE.

I am fighting to prevent financial difficulties, have sleep problems. Stress makes me worse.

....but take away my £80 a month DLA low care. I am sure the increased debt, more sleepless nights and stress will cost the taxpayer more though hospitalisation, home care, medication, etc.

Careful with sweeping assumptions. Till you've been there it can be life or death to many vulnerable people.

You don't take Creon do you?

I have a friend that does and it is a blessing. Her digestion works a treat now.

No- I am on Gabapentin- interrupts the pain signals / neurotransmitters from digestive system to brain. Deals pretty good with pain but not with all of the other joyful things that happen.....
I will investigate Creon. Never heard of it. Thank you!:)
