Hi there shortandcute. Oh yes, I sure do UNDERSTAND how you can end up in a terrible state with the system regarding social benefits (the name in England) I spent three years trying to get it all sorted but during that time I was in and out of Psych hospital anyways. Even during that time of turmoil the benefits office were STILL bugging me to fill in more and more forms to explain by me why I couldn't work!! OK, if at a later date they do decide to award benefit, then it does get back dated. Now I have to attend three daily visits to the programme centre for various therapy and I'm also with the Re~hab drugs and alcohol team, so that four days per week. Now my benefit has been slashed because they say I can work!! Oh, but when? I'm really trying to work these programes but the benefit people are causing a lot of anxity. So YES hunny, I sure do ''get it'' when you talk of your troubles. HUGS and LOVES, as ever. XXXXXXXXXXX
