    Cured dyslexia.

    Tell us more!!

    During school I was put in a 'special class' and we played games involving words and shapes (at the time I didn't know I was dyslexic) and doing that once a week for years got me over the dyslexia.

    Well I still have my moments....

    So you think im faking it do you , well i have proof from my doctor and the doctor has put me on meds for panic disorder. Now what more proof do you need?? . Believe me having a panic attacks is not a joke. And what has this go to do with my OP???

    If everybody who was prescribed anti depressants could claim sickness benefits, the country would be on its knees - nearly 46 million people are prescribed them currently.

    I was simply pointing out that you have asked the same question several times before over the last couple of years.
    You also previously asked for advice on getting a 'bad credit loan' and after people offered advice or questioned your need for a loan you threw a strop and said it was for 'urgent medical treatment for cancer' but never asked about sickness benefits then, you just abandoned your own thread when questioned further.
    Please though if you think you qualify for ESA and have enough proof (not just medication) apply what have you got to lose?

    Having read through your previous thread, you refer to your JSA as 'Getting Paid'. JSA is not getting paid, it's getting just enough to live off.

    You claim to have dyslexia, yet as I once had dyslexia your claims are not true.

    Real Dyslexia means you don't see letters and sometimes numbers you just see shapes. Although I had it 20 years ago and it was 'cured' I still forget how to spell simple words such as 'the or and', sometimes those words make know sense to me yet I have never felt the need to claim any benefits.

    You complain about having to go on a training course, whats wrong with that? Are you missing jeremy Kyle and loose women? The government should have you in training every day monday - friday starting at 9am, you will soon find a job.

    Now it's a mental health claim, it's people who make false claims that make it harder for people with real problems.

    Good on the Job centre for making you do earn this weeks 'wage' and making you stressed for one week, now you know what the rest of us feel like at work for 40-50 hours a week and just about cover the bills.

    going and talk to my doctor . I do not need people being so unhelpful . negative words like this that cause my panic attack to start . untill you have metal health please do not come here with negative words . I came here for advice and advice only . when one has metal health , all one need is support and NOT negative words .
    don't be a hypocrite all your life. God is watching YOU

    The truth hurts I guess. Maybe if you focused more on getting a job than you do on scamming your way to more benefits without doing anything, and abusing the system designed for people with real problems, you would have less problems in your life.
  • I have to say girl - in - need, i am in the same catergory as you, medication for my extreme anxiety and panic attacks, however i feel the best thing to do is carry on with life, albeit find something that suits your illness but also push the boundries.

    The worse thing to do is do nothing... Can you become self-employed and work from home? NEA is available for such thing.

    As it's been mentioned above, many people do indeed suffer with mental illness but choose not to disclose it to anyone, they get medication and try their best to get on with surviving in the world - I suggest you do the same

    Actually part of dealing with a MH issue is dealing with negativity so you don't throw a fit. Seems we've got ourself a troll!
