It's a wonder that you can remember with all the symptoms your supposed to be suffering with.:huh::huh::huh:

I am not going to improve.

Can you remember what form of dementia you have?

To do so would be ridiculous.

Entirely up to you.

However 'entitled' you may feel this is taxpayers money you are being given and it is only right that you are assessed to ensure that you are indeed entitled to it.

I know that but just because I've come off the booze doesn't mean i'm fit and well to work, does it?

No one has suggested otherwise, but to pretend to be something you're not is tantamount to fraud. Go to the assessment and be honest.

There are some people who due to their disability are completely incapable of summonsing the energy to wash and dress themselves appropriately.

This is totally different to people who, despite feeling unwell, make the effort to present themselves in an appropriate manner.

We all do the latter to some extent and, as far as I am concerned, this is a healthy attitude.

For me there is a distinct difference between these two groups of people.

Because the system is flawed does not mean that people should resort to 'dirty tactics'.

I am unwell, very but people started calling me tramp etc... So I got my haircut, bought cheap clothes of ebay. I'm seeing a psychologist and a medic and nurse and counsellor at alcohol services.

I try to bath but sometimes don't have the energy
