Finally got my letter telling me they're continuing me on incapacity benefit - and not being reviewed again until September next year.
What got me, was I had to read one and a half pages of how they came to their decision before finding out if I was getting it or not, and by then I couldn't read it! lol

Babytales, you sound just how I feel. I'd planned to go back to work after 6 months. I was previously on agency so although I didn't have a job to go back to I'm never short of work so could go back anytime. I developed PND then found out I was pregnant again, I'm now 30 weeks. I claimed IB after my MA ran out in july as I'd developed PND and had a form through in january which I filled in and sent back. Monday I received a letter to attend a medical and I have been so stressed out by it. I have a professional career, I earn £20 an hour, IF I could have gone back when I'd planned then do they not think I would have gone back??? I'm seeing a counsellor for PND and my GP every 6 weeks. I need a psychologist but there is a 2 year waiting list and my GP requested I be seen urgently so the only help I could get was the counsellor. Like you I am intensely private and never open up to anyone. I only found out last week that I see my counsellor for 12 weeks and I told her straight that was no use to me, my issues are far deeper rooted than that. Its not a case of PND, I have anxiety, panic disorder, fibromyalgia and post traumatic stress. Five years ago I got an abuse case to work with and it triggered off things in me I'd thought I'd buried, I ended up off sick for a long time, I went to the police and had somebody sent to jail. As a result of all the time off sick and all the other issues I came to an agreement with my employer to leave with a pay off hense why I worked for an agency. I've heard rumours that doctors are being paid to say people are fit for work and that I wont be able to tell them the whole picture because I am so closed about it. Not even my partner knows the root cause of it all as I've never told him anything about it, he knows I was abused and I had somebody sent to jail and thats it. He was released last year so you can imagine whats triggered it all off again. I dont even trust my GP to write to them in support as everytime I see her she mentions the fact she has 4 kids. She keeps trying to push anti depressants on me and offered me a termination and I get the impression sometimes that she thinks I've brought it on myself when I've said I dont know how I'll cope as she'd offered a termination. Then that could just be the paranoia......! I could write lots more but will stop there, just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel, I feel victimised in a way and just wish to be left alone without people probing very painful areas of my life. What really wind me up is my nephew who's never worked nor paid taxes claims IB for agoraphobia. He's too damn lazy to get up and sign on!!!! He's under 20 so is on the special rules thingy. He's never been called in for a medical!
