Statement of decisions
so
I got my statement of decisions today.
It is quite simply terrible. It is a prime example of why medicals are innapropiate for people who have mental health problems. My mental health problems are complex and require long term pyschotherapy, which isnt available on the NHS. The decision maker, or the person doing the medical doesnt seem to understand that for some people, the NHS is not going to offer them the care they need. Trust me, I would love not to have to pay 45 pounds a week for my therapy, but that is the way it is. Because of this, and the fact I dont take anti aniexty medication means I must be faking it and be perfectly healthy thank you.
It stated I dont access mental health services, I am guessing they got that from the physcotherapists letter that they were sent as evidence?
It states that as I have seizures "only" once or twice a day lasting a few hours, that I am perfectly safe to cook in the kitchen and use a bath or shower. They negated to mention that both the kitchen and water and specific trigger points for me to have a seizure and that I have no warning of a seizure. It reads like I can pick and chose the times of my seizures and can fit washing and cooking around those. Of course, yes.
It makes no mention of the fact I had a breakdown in the medical, and could hardly say my own name let alone anything else. I needed "no prompting" and showed "no signs" of cognitive impairment. I struggled all the way through the medical and couldnt even answer the basic maths or english question at the end.
It stated that I got to the assessment centre on the tram and I travel on the tram so am perfectly fine, no mention of the fact I have to have someone with me at all times because of aniexty (which i dont have, see above).
I dont have any issue with budgeting because we have a joint bank account and direct debits. Make of that what you will, as we said, its my partner who deals with that, I'm just on the account.
Its time to fight. but first I must go and have a 3 hour soak in the bath all by myself and then go cook a three course meal before travelling to some far flung country tonight. with all the money, we dont have...
