      Of course it is wrong, but as many people tell me - you want the cash then you have to do their bidding.

      The simple question is - is the cash more important than your health and peace of mind?

      Les the cash doesn't come in to it, its the fact that a so called health assessment professional is giving me zero points for my many illnesses, is frankly an insult to the pain and suffering I have endured for the last

      12 years, oh and I didn't mention on my first post I also have irritable bowl

      Syndrome, which she also gave me zero points, however the dwp over ruled her and awarded me six points.
