    Evening all!

    Well, that's been a couple of tiring days...

    So, first the bad news. I've had some more back trouble (not as bad as it has been, but bad enough) and my tinnitus is driving me mad as I seem to be waking up religiously at 03:20 and once I'm up the car alarm in my head is DRIVING ME BONKERS!!!

    That's the bad stuff, more positive;

    1. I spoke to a CAB adviser and they think I should be successful asking for my ESA to be reassessed as they've failed to take into account that I only walk as much as I do as a result of being told to by a physiotherapist and that when I do walk I support my hip with one hand and my back with the other so while not using any support aids I am supporting myself - complaint in!

    2. My claim for JSA has been approved? I'm a little skeptical but one way or another something is going to be coming in and I got a letter today with a form to fill in to declare myself as unfit to work for up to 2 weeks and I'll still get paid, I can then sign a second form for another two weeks although after that I'm on my own but I should be back at work by then (or no longer employed after showing I can't do my job but that shouldn't happen :( ).

    3. IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!! YAYYYYYYYY!!!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

    Hi Monkers

    Not heard from you a while. Happy New Year.

    Hope things are going Ok on the back front, err does that make sense?

    How,did you get I with the ESA appeal..... Presume you've been busy with something as you've not been on here, whatever is keeping you occupied I hope it's making you happy.

    Cheers

    Saz.
