I understand what the government are trying to do, there are a lot of people out there who are claiming benefits who are not entitled to them, but taking the benefits away from the people who need them is not the answer
Got the dreaded Medical Services Questionnaire from Atos Medical in the post today, this will be the third one that I have had to fill in. the last one resulted in them stopping my ESA, I eventually got it back after an appeal which took over three months, not looking forward to there reply, My brother has had his benefit stopped because they said that he did not turn up for the medical, he phoned them up to say that he could not go because his kids were on holidays from the school, there reply was that he was telling a lie, they gave him another appointment, which he went to only to be told that they did not have a record of his appointment, while he was there he took an asthma attack so they had to deal with that and never gave hi a medical he is now waiting for the appeal date. I would love to get back to work however I have arthritis in my lower back and I now think it has gone in to my knee I have already had both hips replaced. this government has not got a clue, they want the disabled to go back to work but there are no jobs for them and they have closed Remploy who employed disabled workers in the UK. I have been out of work for two years now, ever since I had my first hip operation in March 2012, as I have mentioned earlier in this post, I would love to get back to work, the problem that I have is that I am unable to do the job that I trained for I am a qualified Chef, as you can imagine it will be hard for me to get a job as a chef now as I can only stand for 30 mins approx and I also find it difficult to bend down for anything also I can only sit for 15 mins approx before I have to get up and walk about. I am in constant pain and the pain killers are no longer working and if the doctor gives me stronger pain killers they knock me out for 6 hours . There are some days that I am in so mutch pain I find it hard to walk . I find it hard to believe that the government gives the contract to a French company to give medicals to disabled people when they don't know there medical history and all they do is give them less point than is required to keep there benefits, all they are interested in is if you can walk 200 meters, and if you can you can go back to work.

I have recently purchased a new Camera, A Lumix DMC-LZ20,I have uploaded a number of pictures that have been taken with it. I am impressed with the quality of the pictures that I have got with this camera, I still have a number of pictures to upload, but I need to upgrade to the pro version so I can upload them.
