I was pleased to be told that I'm eligible for Disability Living Allowance.
This was followed recently by a letter from the powers-that-be letting me know that I won't have to provide further medical proof of my illness (good), as I am now on the list of people who will not get any better (bad).
In these days of the government trying their hardest to get people off benefits - even they are telling me I'll never be fit to work again.
The process of grieving for the loss of my career, and subsequent acceptance, is taking a long fecking time. Longer than it's taken everyone else apparently.
