Hi guys, please help i'm so sick of being treated like a scrounger or a criminal, i'm 37 years old and ive worked since I left school apart from when ive had my children or when ive being ill. I'm currently on E.S.A only because when my son was 3 months old I had a serious anxiety crisis that almost put me in hospital, after months of therapy with the parent and baby unit I rushed back to work after my maternity leave and within 6 weeks I was taken quite poorly again, unfortunately i hadnt earnt enough to qualify for S.S.P, hence me being put on E.S.A, within 2 weeks of my E.S.A being set up i received the dreaded questionnaire, and 2 weeks later sent for a medical, and of course failed due to not enough points, i'm now awaiting a tribunal that again i will probably fail. I love my job but my anxiety is chronic, i have severe panic attacks, exhaustion, severe neck tightness, severe muscle pain and lots of other symptoms, Because people cant see wot im going through i feel like i'm constantly having to prove myself to my g.p friends family, E.S.A. At the end of the day everytime i try to get back to normal i become ill again, so where do i fit into the benefits system, hate having this tribunal over my head its horrible feel like people think im lying or something!!!
