Mr had his DLA medical today. It went so much better than his ESA one! For starters, it was at home, so no dealing with taxis and waiting around.
The Dr turned up an hour early - I expected him to, so as to catch us unawares. Of course, catching people out only works when there is something to be caught out, and we have nothing to hide. We were resting in bed when he arrived, and my mother in law was doing housework downstairs - pretty typical day!
He was a nice man. You never know how much they take in, and afterwards you remember how much you didn't say, but at least we weren't treated nastily, and Mr was able to stop the physical examination when it got too much. (With his ESA medical he was told if he didn't do everything he would be called back again and again until he did.)
I feel angry and hurt by the Government and the media atm. They are discriminating against disabled people. People need to realise that one day they may become permanently disabled and dependent on benefits.
