Petrified At F2F

Thanks Bro

I'm in quite a bit of pain after my marathon and can't get my head around the lack of mobility questions.

They will likely make a recommendation based on their observations of you at the assessment, walking to and from the room, etc. and assumptions of how you travelled to and from the appointment.

Yes G,

That could well be the case, as I informed Mm : Here.

After this bizarre f2f I am today in absoloute agony from getting to the interview, in addition the more that I think about it the more I think that I was not asked very little mobility questions, has this happened before.

So basically because I managed to get to the room doped up on morphine and diazepam, wearing my right leg brace,right ankle brace, using crutches and supported by my wife.

Huffing and puffing and stopping every so often and not being observed until the assessor came out of her room where I was lowered down onto the seat.

May mean that I can start training for the marathon,which is indeed great news, all I need now is to have my spine realigned,feeling back into my arms and hands,removing the arthritis from my hands,knees,hips,feet.

In addition to having recovered from my replacement knee op 3 weeks ago, my next replacement knee and not to forget my unstable ankle which has had two failed reconstructions and my wish to end my life,hurt others, experience day and night terrors,flash backs etc.

As I lay here in bed with the pain suffered from the over exhaustion of the assessment, I ask myself having witnessed things that humanity does to each other in war and so called peace.

Having watched friends lives disappear in a cloud of mist and having to collect pieces of meat that were once part of a child or adult.

I ask myself was it worth fighting for a country that treats the genuinely disabled people of this once great land like the dregs of society who are forced to grovel for the right to live.

If I could go back in time,would I fight for this country again, to listen to Cameron twittering about how our forces are being looked after by the military covenant etc.

Not a chance Mr Cameron and Blair I would rather be speaking peshmerga than going through this humiliating and deeply embarrassing process, to a once proud and honourable man.

I was not asked any mobility questions at my f2f, I attended in my wheelchair, the assessor asked if I wanted to stay in it, I said yes, she said thats okay I don't need to see you walking, your doctor has written in and I got enhanced mobility.
