Ok so I wasn't exactly thrilled that I was getting incapacity benefits because I'm so depressed. But, this is ridiculous!
I had a health assessment to 'validate' that I have severe depression and panic attacks etc. Anyway... this woman couldn't even communicate with me properly in English! I've just received a letter saying I'm not entitled to it because I didn't receive enough points along with a summary of questions..... most of which are wrong! I went to this assessment with my mother because I get panic attacks doing things on my own and I told her that and she's put it down as no???????? What! I'm just baffled and I daren't tell my mam because all hell will break loose in this house tonight. My mam will panic over financial issues, she can't afford for me to live here. My dad will go off on one, first at the woman for answering these questions wrong and then about me not being able to work and I should be working and he wants me out of this house and that I'm useless and pathetic and a lump of **** and this, that and the other.....
Can't cope with this right now!!!!!
How do people that are just trying to scrounge money when they 'can' work get away with being on benefits when they shouldn't be when for someone it's totally valid for and can't for the reasons they list is...... argh! I don't get any of this....

I'm so angry, upset and scared
