That's ok then. Cos, I mean, you know ho...Well. That's ok then. Cos, I mean, you know how efficient and helpful the NHS GP's who are our first port of call are. If someone came to their GP with strange symptoms they would be sent off for tests and referre to a specialist straight away. There is NO CHANCE those efficient, caring, hard working GP's would dream of telling a patient not to worry, or that it's all in their head, or to fix their problems themselves with really assinine and unhelpful suggestions.<br /><br />No. Definitely not. So, you know, it'll be fine. Becuse OBVIOUSLY anyone who is living with disability is already going to have a diagnosis, as given by those helpful and definitely-not-concerned-with-budgets GP's.<br /><br /><br />Fucks sake.Arienettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226584891432763246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-72940303429244009542010-07-09T10:30:25.923+01:002010-07-09T10:30:25.923+01:00Jo: That's EXACTLY what I'm so concerned a...Jo: That's EXACTLY what I'm so concerned about. My DLA award dates from before my diagnosis too, though has been renewed since. <br />There's so many ppl who aren't properly diagnosed as medicine just hasn't got the knowledge yet, but are severely disabled eg the Samuel I've posted about previously never had a formal diagnosis as no-one ever worked out quite what had happened. <br /><br />I'm also deeply concerned about the advise to get individual charities to campaign, that'll be massively detrimental to those of us with rarer conditions as the balance of power and funding lies with the big charities.BenefitScroungingScumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939136229593231935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-7450992579551089722010-07-09T10:24:11.797+01:002010-07-09T10:24:11.797+01:00" it is probably people who do not have a dia..." it is probably people who do not have a diagnosis of a specific medical condition or disease who are most at risk of losing their eligibility for DLA once the new test comes in "<br /><br />Pretty scary thought considering it's taken me best part of 45 years to finally get a doctor to actually listen to me, then follow up to come to my diagnosis, all those years I suffered and nobody would believe me (not even my own family)<br /><br />So does this mean those <i>already</i> diagnosed will be permitted to keep their awards? So confusing and so worrying! I can barely afford to survive as it is.Lankylonglegs - Jonoreply@blogger.com
