I get yearly tested for incapacity benefit and each medical has proved that I am not capable of taking a job, although I'd love to. IF genuine claimants like myself ARE forced into a job, what employers are going to put up with someone whos condition forces them to go to bed because they are in so much pain or whos medication makes them very drowsy?, this applies to me and I have yet another two major operations still to come. No two days are the same for me. A woman from the job centre called and when I explained everything, she even said there was nothing they could do for me. It's so fustrating having to fill out the incapacity form every year, then having to travel miles away for the medical by a doctor who doesn't know you from adam!! By the time I got there (Glasgow), I was so ill, that I nearly ended up in hospital that night!! Surely for claimants like myself, there could be a simple condition update form, and have your medical in your home town, I don't think that is asking too much from the government. Would love to know what other genuine claiments think? Yes we are out there and are treated like c**p. Yes I do agree there ARE benefit scroungers with nothing wrong with them, but me and many others are NOT.
