April last 2010 i put in for DLA and they knoked me back because i could apparently walk 200+ yards. Now that was an indopendent doctor who wrote these lies about me, along with the help of my own GP who has knowen me from the beggining of my illness. Recently i went to my trial date for DLA and again i was knocked back for a reason i am unsure off untill i get a full copy of the minutes from it.
There was one thing that stood out in the room with me and the 3 on the panel. The Lawer was VERY rude, The Doctor was extreamly nice , And the Sevilion who had a Visial imparment Was extreamly Rude and done everything posible not to just upset you but to make you cry. I am also aware that i am not the skinniest girl on the planet but i can not help the weight i am because of all the steriods i was on as a child, But do we really need some as rude as her to ask if u have concidered a gastric band or a diet? I dnt beleve we do. Then she proceded to ask me when i left school and why i wasnt as collage, To let you understand the collage near to my home in scotland is very large and i do not have the power in my legs or the energy to walk from class to class. She then asked me if i took my own medication and i was honest and said "Well i wouldnt want anyone else to take it so yes i do take my own medication".As a result she was unhappy and said nothing further.
People dont seem to understand that the money that i have been receving since i was 8 years old, helped me in so many ways. It helped get me out of the house and do fun things with friends,but since they have decided i do not decerve this money i am now stuck in the house all day with almost nothing to do except read and play games on facebook.
I never have expected any of my friends to understand my illness but what i did expect was for them to understand that if i do not have money i can not go, but they still want me to get money and go with them. My other friends are very understanding, they always try to make me go out and have a laff with them over by the loch near to my home, But sometimes i am just to sore to move and thats when they do not understand.
