Getting what I deserve

Try not to worry Outlooks, being on a CTO with a recent history of repeated section plus being in supported accommodation all show the severity with which bipolar affects your life. You will have a psychiatrist, gp, cpn and a housing support worker or similar who can all give written evidence to support your application for ESA.

Although no-one can be guaranteed to pass the WCA, I think you are in a strong position, you just have survive the process.

I'm hoping I'll be fine with my ESA assessment considering I've been sectioned three times alone this year and an currently on a community treatment order.

Thanks rowland37, I'm quite scared at the moment. Its nice to hear kind words.

I was actually on a section 3 while my social worker filled in the ESA forms, I don't know why its taking so long because that was three months ago and still heard nothing from them, Social services are my financial appointee so everything goes through them. I'm terrible with money especially when I'm in a high thats why I have an appointee.

I have reported Portly/Andy already and the offending post has been removed.

This is such a strange coincidence, but portly1 and oldboy64 have the same vehicles - isn't that amazing!

Okay. Well thanks for your replies. To those who say most people can work full time I'd like to call attention to the word most. I have had four jobs which I have either had to leave or have been dismissed from. My last job ended because the contract came to an end. During the nine months I worked there I suffered mood swings, was close to being sacked twice, had to be led to the toilets because I was crying my eyes out.

Other jobs have involved regular episodes of the illness which has resulted in me in tears at the till, the cleaner having to close it off, me shouting at colleagues and being told off. To me that is not the kind of worker anybody wants.

I am not going to give up at all and nor will I look for a job. The jobcentre will not let me sign on anyway. I am doing surveys at home and that is the most I can do. Yes I understand that I can only appeal if they have got something wrong. I have got the statement of reasons which I can't even look at without crying. My mum told me not to look at it because she is ill herself and hates to see me cry.

Everyone knows that ESA is a travesty and I know that I can't work. Fair enough a lot of people can work. I can't unless they want the place to descend into absolute chaos.
