@EllieStar1989 Hi how did your assessor know you was using Facebook is this what you said you did ?

She asked what I did in my spare time and I said I watched Tv and used Facebook and I feel it wasn't used againsy me I only use it because I struggle to leave my house and I am so isolated

Hi @EllieStar1989, sorry to hear that you're feeling worried- the waiting period can be really difficult. If you're concerned, you could try getting in touch again to see if there has been any progress?

The assessor wrote in my medical report that I am able to sit and use a keyboard and so could do a job and work in that capacity. I have heard that IF you can sit at a computer and press the keys then this means that you could do a job using a computer! How ridiculous!! Not taking into consideration that I can only sit down for a few minutes at a time before I have to lie down again and then the pattern repeats. What employer is going to accept a member of staff having to lie down every 15 minutes or so because they are in so much pain due to severe osteo-arthritis in the lower spinal discs.
