    Ooh Taittinger. Posh friends you have there Beanie :D Falling over is more than acceptable if it's drink related ;) Hope you didn't hurt yourself though.

    No idea about benefits systems but could re-assessment have a positive outcome ie. more money. Or does it generally mean they want to take off you. :( xx

    Has anyone heard from edinburgher at all ?
    The one thing I really dislike about MSE is how sometimes people just go off the radar & we dont know if they are ok.

    I haven't, beanie, sorry - I suspect he's just really busy, his posts were much less frequent for quite a while before he stopped. I do know what you mean, though, about people "disappearing".

    Glad you enjoyed the champagne :)

    Boo to the re-assessment. Annoying when you have a long term condition that's not going to improve :( Mr SA was selected a couple of years ago.

    On the subject of disappearing MSE folks, I wonder what's happened to Robin?

    I dread those assessment envelopes. DH was assessed twice in 9 months a couple of years ago...funnily enough his spine hadn't repaired itself and his autoimmune and neurological disorders hadn't cured themselves either. We'd only just had the results from the first assessment when the next letter arrived. Luckily sense prevailed and they didn't ask for a face to face assessment 2nd time round, they just went on medical evidence.

    Good. You must have read my mind as I was just wondering how he was. 😢

    Funnily enough my CP haven’t improved any either!!
    I just love having to go to the physio every week & being able to do less & less.
