Some days I am good but most bad, I stuck it out hoping would be light at the end of the tunnel but been back to doc again for the fourth time and hospitalised again briefly this week..
I am wondering am I better off coming off illness and going on either disability or invalidly, don't know which I need to apply for...
Can someone please shed some light on this for me..
I partake in an out reach program for 19'5hrs a week which I must say is beneficial to get me out of myself and the extra money does help but i do work hard where I am ,but this is due to end and i have gotten absolutely no skills form it...
Fás wasting tax payers money yet again. I worked myself for 18 plus years but mental illness and chronic addiction has me worn out.. I've been given all sorts of therapy, medication, you name it I've had it.treatment centres and psychiatric wards incl... I continue to go to twelve step programs and do everything that is asked of me. I just find it so tough to keeep ends meet and now with a very ill mother whom i can;t even look after is soul destroying as I was advised not to.....Please no smart answers as i'm not able for them.., (not too many people know what this feels like and few of you hard works can be very quick to pass judgement.... . thank you
Any suggestions please???
 
Invalidity pension is very hard to get but you would be better off applying for it if you can.

Call in to your local Citizens Information office, they will have the forms, will advise you and will help you fill them in if necessary.

Thank you, I think I will, I'd love to be back in normal employment but I just can't manage for very long.... I'm on a CE scheme at the moment and that helps me but it's about as much as I can handle...
