WRAG update

I have now received official notification of the outcome of my medical examination.
I have now been classified as severely disabled and my ESA benefit has been increased, including backpay.

The only proviso is that I have to attend job focus interviews from time to time first one being 16th April, as I am classified as someone who will eventually be able to return to work.

I am happy with this outcome at the moment.

Work related activity group

I've been summoned to the job centre on 16th April.

Apparently I have been put in the work related activity group following my medical, whatever that is?!

I've still not had anything in writing though.

Wonder what that will be all about, hope it's something I can cope with and it doesn't make my head explode!

They made me a Doctor!

Not been blogging for a while, but I'm still here, still OK.

A lot seems to have been happening, not least gaining my Ph.D. I had been working on it for a few years, obviously having a stroke set things back a bit, and I was unable to continue with my work.
However it was decided that taking my previous work and my past experience into account, I had achieved the necessary standard.
Enjoying the extra mobility of having a car again, but I do find driving tiring and a little painful after a period of time, so just short journeys  at the  moment.
I had my medical for the DWP, not too bad, just concentrated on my mental and cognitive state and the movement on my affected side. Just got to wait to see what they come back with now. My GP still believes I am unfit for work anyway.

Trip to office

I'm taking a trip over to my old office tomorrow, to pick up what remains of my stuff over there.

It is still uncertain if and when I will be fit to return to work.
