Hello
I can't believe, it is nearly two months since I have been in and did a post here, most of that time, has been spent in bed.
I have some encouraging news for you.
I had a letter from the Department of Work and Pensions, they said, if I (people with long terms conditions) have paid their stamp, as granny would have said, then the new incapacity benefit, that you will receive on the new benefits system, will not been means tested, now I don't know, how long you need to have paid your stamp, to qualify.
The new system, starts in February of next year, for existing people who are on incapacity benefit, not all the facts are together and could change! not helpful I know.
At the moment, they are still going ahead with people having to have a medical if they go for disability living allowance, they are hoping, this will save them £1billion, it is interesting, that they are more interested in the governments money, than our needs at times!
We wait and see what happens.
