glad you got the letter explaining what you've been paid, must at least be one less thing for you to be thinking about

Oh that's a relief, @OBL, one less thing to worry about x
2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!3 -
So glad you have a bit of clarity regarding ESA , 1 less thing to worry about but bad that it's taken so long and given you added stress , hope you feel a bit less sore today x2

Thanks Cherry I’m so relieved too 🙂 I can now concentrate on sorting the paperwork for my pension to get that sorted. I also need to crack on with sorting out the house but that’s an ongoing project .Cherryfudge said:I'm sorry you're in such pain, I hope the gel is helping.
That's really good news about the ESA and not having to look for work. I'm relieved on your behalf that you can relax without that hanging over you anymore.
