Re: sorry I need a whinge/a

[Guest guest]

Hi a,

I am not holding my breath, waiting to see if I get it I doubt judging by this

doctor I will...he didn't even want the Rheumy's reports just went by what the

GP had noted.

It has been a tough enough decision to actually apply for this, its not like I

want the label that comes with the payment( I am still finding this all to hard

to face), if I could go back twelves months working 72hr fortnights as well as

raising a family....I would.

Thanks for listening/replying

What an awful experience. It sounds like this doctor is getting paid

to disqualify people rather

then make an honest determination of your health. I hope you own

doctor's reports will

count for more than this government doctor's. I can't blame you for

being angry.
