4 Brown Envelopes
Posted , 2 users are following.
High to every body hope your all well,
I feel i need to explain a brown envelope in the united kingdom
is usually from the department of work and pensions and for
disabled people 9/10 its bad news so it gave me areal shudder
to get four..Im trying to get in the support group after appealing
the ESA overturned there orignal decision and placed me in the
WRAG group the difference is the WRAG group they can still
lead you about by the nose under threats of sanctions i.e. lowering
your benefit which is by the way the lowest amount the law says
you are aloud to live on..the support group means that they leave you
alone ..thats the theory ..so now im appealing the first Mandatory Descision
and im on my second mandatory descision but i have a big problem i
want to see an E.N.T. specialist to get them to right me a letter telling
how M.D. is such a disrupting desease..because i have not been to them
since 2004 the clinic has changed hands and they wont see me without a
referal from my G.P...i told my gp early last year that my right ear is now
infected so he booked me in for an audiology test that was done at the surgery
and not at the E.N.T. clinic at my local hospital which is what i was hoping for
..the test results where my infected ear was shot but he said the right my good
ear was fine but there is a lot of wax build up he talked about olive oil drops to loosen the wax and let nature take care of it self also he said about an hearing aid ..the olive oil after about six doses made me death for 4 days ..so i phoned the doctor again hoping he would refer me but no this time he perscribed sodium bicarbonate drops and booked
me in for syringing which is on wednesday he said he has to get rid of the wax before
a referal so it looks like im going to go over the time alocated for my appeal ..
the four letter from DWP ..the first to tell me my JSA has been closed the second my
p45 the third an explaination on how much tax i have paid and if im entitled to a rebait
or if i owe them money and the 4th setting up an interview with a work coach for ESA
and making it perfectly clear about sanctions if they dont think im doing enough to
seek work that might suit my circumstances ..I was already on ESA when they sent
me to ATOS and revoked it and its the same work coach i had that theyv booked me up with i think she had something to do with sending me to ATOS in the first place so it
seems to me iv come full circle and this is the perdicament the disabled are caught up
in if you dont suffer vertigo then this is enough to make you feel you do..how can
human beings already on the lowest amounts to live on have it taken away... i think
it criminal..isay theres no great in great britain when they can spend a billion pounds
on a warship thats will be targeted has soon as it hits the water and homeless out of
work people also people pushed in to poverty by a goverment that has no imaination
or foresight to run the country......

Hello Stephen, So sorry to hear of your situation, I'm sure how everything works in your area, Is there anyway to get an extension on your appeal pending medical information? I hope everything works out for you, It is a shame that is so difficult to get help when its badly needed.

Thanks for your concern..
I need to get my ears syringed before they will
refer me ..there will be a period of waiting time
as it may help my symptoms ..i.e. tinitus in they
right ear and also high and low pitches buzzing
that come and go quickly..im booked in for
syringing wednesday so i will have to see how it goes
before i can request a referal..here in the u.k. it can
take anthing from 6 weeks to 6 months..when i was diagnosed
in 2000 i never had my ears syringed and in the 4yrs of
e.n.t. no one mentioned wax at all..also the Disiability people
will only consider your claim as it was when you started the
claim and not any update or unproven evedence..
I think you have to make a fresh claim that there has
been a change in your in you condition..i would not employe
me given my condition they even asked me about charity
work ..maybe 2 hrs a day..i would love that but i truely believe
i would let them down as you no yourself you can not predict
attacks even mild attacks stop me in my tacks so i can reajust
my balance..they assume i can use public transport because
i made it to the centre for the assement but in reality the last
time i took a bus was some 3yrs ago i had a panic attack from
the stop starting and jolting through the gears i had to get off
at the second or third stop i have not been on a bus since
the same thing happend on the train 5yrs ago ...
what they do in the u.k. is use threats of losing you benefits
or cutting them down..thats duress so my brother took me
to the centre ..i look a plastic bag with me also pain killers
and travelling pills he kept to speed limits and avoiding pot holes
in the road i dont think i would of maid it on my own.i had what
i call a mild panic attack at the reception i could not remeber
my own name a details and got the secretery to fill in my details
and i signed it..they were not botherd how i got there and used
it to cheat me out of the Support Group...
i have an Anxiety Disorder Depression lung disease which is C.O.P.D
and a skin disease Lichen Planus..anybody with any sense would see
that im struggling with day to day living.. sad....thanks again for your concern
and good health to you....
