Well after feeling so crappy over the weekend i woke up and decided to re read my DLA refusal letter properly again and when i did i saw a bit at the bottom that said at the moment i am eligable for dla but they feel my condition on 30/5/2010 will improve to the point that i will no longer need help and on that they have based there desicion,i had a month to appeal or i could phone to ask for someone else to reconsider and then if that failed i could appeal after that,so 2 cups of tea later i pluck up the courage to phone,im sure i was first on the line as it opened at 7.30 and i was on the phone before 8 am! I got a lovely woman who told me my desicion maker was a man and why didnt she send it back tobe looked at by fresh eyes,then if it still failed i had the right to appeal-did i write that already? Anyway,she asked if anything had changed since the claim was made and i said yes,ive had a crash in mood,im on new tablets during the day and at night,that i hadnt been out without Billy or my mum or my son and daughter since July,thats the panic attacks were worse,and i was now seeing a health psycologist,i couldnt walk all that far as i have a problem with my heel and im waiting on a steroid injection in it,and that i really felt after all in going through i should be considered again,even for the lowest rate,so off my claim goes again and we will see what happens now.
I have my wee cleaning job on a Mon and usually Billy takes me there and picks me up and the man of the house is in as he is retired,the next two weeks they are on holiday and i really didnt want to be alone at all,i scare myself with the silly things i think and as the house is on three floors its creepy,so Billy stayed with me and did half my work which was great,but he couldnt believe just how much work i do there,but im glad i took him,makes him relaise why i cant move after it. Got my wee shift tomorrow in the lauderette which im looking forward to as i will be working with a girl i know,she is giving me a trial as she thinks the work may be too heavy for me but i have to bring something in for the family.
I got a nice surprise today,i live in a housing ass house and have never moaned about things in the house and i got a letter last week saying they wanted access to the house for a property survey,i didnt think much about it as i got one last year and the windows,doors ect get looked at every couple years,anyway,the guy turned up while we were out but Daniel was in,he phoned to say,mum your getting a new kitchen,and you have to pick it now! We got home as quickly as possible,the guy was working his way round some houses in the street so Dan asked him to come back in,he did and its true im getting a new kitchen and maybe a combi boiler and he is sending someone out to look at my bathroom (which i dont think is too bad!) anyway,i got to pick out of three units and 6 worktops,so ive picked a cherry wood with a worktop called sand which funnily enough looks like sand! I asked when it was getting done thinking sometime next year but he told me in the next three weeks,so Christmas for the kids is sorted,there getting a new kitchen!!! Its just like for like,no extras or anything fancy but hey beggars cant be choosers!
Anyway,not cried today so thats good,my dads back tomorrow which will be nice and ive got my bodyshop party which i cant really be bothered with ,but hey ill get through it,my daughters looking forward to it so thats the main thing.
