Iv had to biopsies five years ago VIN grade 3 and now iv been diagnosed with LS 

iv been given derivative whilst waiting for gynaecologist appointment but it doesn’t seem to be working on the chronic itch and wondered if aloe or olive oil works as well?

iv been signed off work because of stress / fatigue ?? But not sure if I can get any long term benefit help ... esa / pip 

yep I’m very mixed up and stressed :( 

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you have a chronic itch and you're waiting for a gynaecological appointment. Having not had this myself I don't know what would work best. It might be an idea to speak to your GP again, explaining the problem and ask if they can prescribe something else to help.

    As for whether you qualify for ESA and PIP then can I recommend that you give the Macmillan Support Line a call on 0808 808 0000. It's free to call and when you get through ask to speak to one of the welfare rights advisors. Make sure you have details of your income and outgoings to hand along with any savings that you have.
