The people at Work Directions are SO NICE. My interviewer was shocked about the benefits cut, offered to look over my appeal, and encouraged me to make a big stink about the whole thing to my MP and whoever else will listen, and told me not to worry because they'll take one look at the appeal and realise it's a mistake. Apparently it happens all the bloody time, so they're hoping enough complaints start flooding in that they'll change the system (at least so the doctor doing the work assessment is the one who adds up the points, which at the moment is not the case). And she cleared up that my GP cannot write a letter overturning the DWP assessment, but she *can* write a letter just detailing what's wrong and how it limits me. So I'll be going back on Monday/Tuesday, and if she's still being difficult it's time to change GPs.

Now for a bit more sun, as it's an utterly beautiful day. Sunscreen already applied.

i recently changed dr's cus mine was an arse. the one (male) i've seen at southside surgery on bernard terrace seems pretty nice. and they were able to add me in on an emergency slot and have me see him before properly registering with them which was also nice :)
