Jennifer, I am not sure when they will call me for work coach sessions.For new claimants it starts as soon as they first claim.For me I have been in the support group which means I haven't been expected to look for work since 2011 and they have left me in peace all that time and not expected anything of me.There was a green paper published and the consultation for that ended February this year.it might kick in for them to get round existing long term claimants by the end of this year.If they cut my money it will be a shock,it isn't just that though if they find I am able to work when I can't it will be so hard,I have no qualifications,I can't do manual physical work cos I have a twisted spine and cannot stand up long periods or walk far.One look at me and an employer will dismiss me as unfit,I am also obese.I can't see me competing in the job market,though if desperate and forced into it I will have to be creative,it depends if they give me time to do a course or something.I am considering creative writing and trying to get published.The other thing I am prepared to try are those chat lines I can do a good sex talk if I have to and set up on my own,otherwise the established lines don't pay enough.if I can build up a clientel?Who knows,it is still going to take a lot of energy and being ill a lot of the time,getting too tired will automatically cause a deterioration in my mental health,and if they get me to agree I can work they might use that as an excuse to move me to the work group which is a lot less money.

It is a worry,but as Jesus said,when did a day's worry ever change anything,and don't worry about tomorrow today has enough troubles.I am better today,yesterday I had survival fears triggered by PTSD and emotional memories of trauma,which made me really full of fear.Today I am reconnecting with God and trying to have faith that my fears are unfounded and that maybe they will see when I go for the first work coach assessment that I am too ill to work so will stop ,cos apparently the work coach has discretion to decide if we have to do work or not.I have had a petition on the go against this since last November I started it.It has 4 293 signatures so far but these work coach plans haven't been publicly announced yet if they are hopefully there will be massive opposition to them.

Thanks for your understanding Jennifer.It has helped me to offload and been very cathartic.I will pray and do what I can,whatever God's will for me is,what he sends to try us he send to make us stronger and grow into our character and potential.I just have to overcome my survival fears.In addition to the mobility issues I have 3 other chronic illnesses ,diabetes and thyroid and sleep apnea and I am being investigated for cancer and have abnormal cells on top of the mental illness,schizoaffective disorder,PTSD,social anxiety and depression and general anxiety.Quite a lot,hopefully they will see that and not demand from me what I am not capable of.
I also worry that voicing my opposition to their plans will make me a target in their eyes,I have already sent emails to my MP which I regret doing asking him for reassurance,I should have left well alone cos he is a conservative who voted for benefit cuts.
