Ive just checked and you are all set mate. Settings are all correct. Check your Junk mail box for the emails. Mails from the site often go in there. You can usually 'train' your email client to stop doing that.

 

Either click 'not junk' option for one of the emails.

 

Or start moving them into your inbox. Do this enough times it may train your computer we are not the enemy! 🤣

Thank you very much. I see Horowitz in an hour 15. Will let you know what he says this go around. I’ve written and re-written my questions and practiced going over them. Gotta be succinct when I only have $$$ 25minutes.

Good luck mate 

Hi @Chippy well my Appeal got refused today, so bang goes that money. Not much can be done

about it so that's that. Still signed off until 3rd of March as well. Looks like the Motorbike will be gone now.

Take care,       B.👍

@Chippybrother, how are you lately my friend?

Spot on @Chippy They think their is nothing wrong with us. I rang wdp and it's been stopped.

Nothing to be done mate, I rang CAB but they couldn't really do anything, it's just worse if I have

to pay some back, dwp said I would get a letter but wouldn't confirm on that on the phone.

 

When I was telling my woes to woman at CAB, I was on about my hip and Tramadol, then the real 

horror drug MIRT,  God she said I take that every so often for sleep, I soon filled her in what she needed

to know about that. Hey it is what it is, something will get sorted.

Take care,        B.🤞

I appreciate it...❤️🙏

I know it is a lot to juggle when dealing with WD. Make sure you are still taking care of yourself and saying no when you have too. 

Thanks 👍

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

I was also refused all of it even while utterly disabled receiving full time care from my parents.

 

Makes me quite angry that I worked hard and paid a fortune into the system up until getting sick, and the state is who made me sick in the first place, and I get nothing, when others get plenty.

 

Still, as you say, that's that. The main thing is your health.

Me as well @Luke The bloody doctors MAKE us sick, then DWP don't want to know. 47 years I paid

in and don't help when you really need it. Stinks. They have a sick note until 3rd of March as well!!!!!!

THAT'S the bit that bugs me. A genuine GP stating UNFIT for work, yet they can override it ?????

How would insurance cover that one at work??????

I hope you are Ok mate, take care,         B.🤞👍

Hi guys, so yes on the DWP theme, I have googled this....IF you are signed off sick, it is going against all employers

rules and regs to go into work WHILE SIGNED OFF, could be instant dismissal. SO how do they work THAT one out?

So an example, I KEEP my sick note running, apply for JSA, then any jobs that are offered, I Show them the sick note?????

Sorry for the rant, I just don't like been disbelieved and taken for a malingerer🤬

 

So today is horrible and wet in the Lakes, But I am lifting a bit now, 3 maybe so that does help. Hells bells if this PWD 

disappeared overnight for GOOD I would be back at work tomorrow, hell yes, money coming in  again, normality back

going to work would be a lifesaver, back in the land of the living, this is what authorities don't SEE, we are PRAYING for

our health back.....How absolutely utterly crazy that anyone could think we WANT to be like THIS🤬

They haven't a bloody clue.

Yes wet up the road from you here too bud. Good a 3. Nice 🙂 They have no clue. Not a bit.

Hi @Chippy I might just call in to CAB next Tuesday, question that about still being on sick. Or maybe

better, go to the doctor and explain the situation to them. BUT then again they don't like officially admitting

to a drug being at fault. They write out sick notes no problem so they know....so yes not sure yet mate.

 

So yes not just sure Chippy, I will work something out, but it's not going to be easy with the sick pay stopped,

now it wasn't much but it very much eased the situation. The very BEST result would be to MIRACULOUSLY

recover, NEW job NEW life. Now is that REALLY asking too much????           Pipe dreams mate.🤔

Take care,       B.🤞👍

Tricky isnt it. You always do. Yes it might not have been a fortune but as you say it helps to keep you plodding along and not have to worry doesn't it. I think your ideas above are good. Worth pursuing perhaps.

 

Well stranger things have happened I am sure. Trouble is this is a difficult thing to recover from. Of course we WILL, just takes time. Next goal is to be at least sort of ok each day really isnt it. Gotta kick this MEGA wave! Its coming.

Yes @Chippy quick recovery is very much pipe dreams as you and I both know. Be lucky if I 

am recovered by retirement March next year. Now if I do recover sooner and get a job, health

permitting I will work longer if it's a GOOD job.....but hey time will tell.🤞

It will mate. It will pan out. At least you have retirement not too far away if needs be.
