Gordon, Thank you again for your advice. I have now written my letter addressing all the relevant points but I would like to add something at the end of it and I am here to ask if you believe it is appropriate, please. What I would like to say is: I am 60 years old Been 3 times in tribunal, after which I was awarded (last 2 times) Never awarded more than 2 years at the time Very complex chronic illness, no cure No family or friends to help in my condition This for the purpose of the recognition that I need a break, to leave me alone until my retirement age. Is this too much or impudent to ask?
