The news today is full of the proposed changes to the Incapacity Benefit and the new medical tests that are to be introduced. Like lots of disabled people, these new rules and tests fill me with fear and dread.
Yes - I’d love to be back at work, not least because of the money aspect, but also because of the companionship and motivation that it brings. However, last week, for example, I spent three mornings at my local hospital having different medical conditions treated. The reality is that not many employers want to hire someone who’s blind and has mental health problems, so has to have lots of time off for medical appointments!
Most of the disability charities seem to be kicking up a fuss, so time will tell.
