hi mot
you probrly right you do have ocd but dont worry its no big thing david beckham has it to they only treat it these days if it really bad and your dosnt sound to bad from what you have said
to be honest im concerd that you are going to use the fact that you were suffering from a mental illness and thats why you didnt pay your rent as you have no evidence from the mental health teams to back this up at the time it all happened its only after it happened that the mental healh people have got involved and the way the councill will look at it is if you were that ill why wasnt you refered sooner your gp should of done this as standered when someone was presenting your illness to him im not saying that wasnt the reason just that the councill will need proff that this was the case before the will reconsdier
lets face it anyone can say they are mental ill and fool the councill and doctor into beliving this and many have done this im not saying you are just the councill are very cenical about everything espically when it comes to housing and like most things the people conning the system make it hard for the geniune people like your self to get the help you need i still dont see how you are going to win this one
you need more things like proff you wasnt getting enough income to pay the rent letter from the school to say that at the time they noiticed you were in server hardship at the time couldnt pay for trips ect a letter from your gp explaining why he didnt referer you to the mental health teams when you should of been i hope it gose ok for you good luck
All of those items of proof I can get if needed - the psychiatrist has said in his report that I should have seen someone like him before and my medical notes prove this along with the fact that I have been on this medication for some years now.
I understand what you say that anyone could say that they were suffering mental illness but the Drs I have and will be seeing are the top of their profession and have enough to experience to weed out those who are 'trying it on' - the Consultant Clinical Psycholgist is, amongst other things, a Criminal Psychologist - Profiler for those of you that watched Cracker and Wire in the Blood - so he would definately 'see through' me if he thought I was 'putting it on'.
I have absolutley no concerns that he will find me 'playing the system' as I know that he is there to help me and help is just what I need - I cannot go on suffering like this and I am only too grateful for his help and that of the CMHT after.Christians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -
Hi,
Just one other thing I am worried about. Nobody has yet picked on your ex's ability or non ability to contribute financially to housing his children. Didn't Social Services pick up on this?
I know he is not a nice man but he seems to see the children reguarly and has brought them a pile of Christmas presents.
It may be worth being aware that the authorities may start looking at him and what he can offer. CSA etc :eek:
Really hope this all works out for you. :j
Hi Borgie,
Thanks for post - spoke to CSA earlier this year and now receiving the minimum amount due from ex each month HOWEVER I know he receives a big bonus each year but as the CSA accept a written letter from his employers confirming the bonus amount (and this is written by the MD's sec) the true figure is not declared. I questioned the CSA about obtaining his P60 for proof of total income but it is not standard practice as they write to the employer - made me so mad:mad: and Floss is quite right every extra bit received affects other benefits so even if I did get more from him then I would be no better off.
What I would really like to do is get a part-time job but until this housing situation is sorted and my health improves then I can't see how it would be possible.Christians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -

This publicity is doing wonders for attracting men :rolleyes: as a 'blast from the past' has turned up!
When I first moved here 2 years ago we moved into a 2 bed flat and I had so much furniture that it wouldn't all fit so I had to have a clear out. After a week of sorting and all the excess lying on the enclosed but outside private landing area I called a company to come and remove it. That afternoon a nice little man named Claudio turned up (yes he's Italian) well he took a shine to me and kept calling back at the flat to try and get us to go out with him! Even when I moved to the cottage he saw us but luckily couldn't see where we lived.
Anyway, today Claudio has turned on the doorstep of the house asking to speak to me. The young lad (from last night) answered the door and politely told hom, on my instructions, that I was busy. Tonight I was closing the kitchen window, bearing in mind we're on the second floor, when I heard a voice calling my name. I looked down and there was Claudio:eek: . So window shut and curtains closed - very quickly:rotfl: . I-T told straight away too;)Christians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -

Could I ask anyone who wants to to email Daniel Zammit Chief Executive of Dacorum Borough Council to lobby him for the postponement of the appeal on 3rd Jan in order to allow for the psycholgists report to be carried out please? And also for us to be able to stay here in the flat until appeal is heard at the later date?
I just feel that another 'push' by us all is needed - pleaseChristians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0
