Leeds Remploy
Hey, I have an appointment at Remploy in Leeds, its next week, this could be a brilliant chance to getting back into work, might only be a few hours per week. They do get quite a few vacancies through, the thing is too, employers seem to put trust in disabled people, that word ‘disabled’ jeez I never thought I would be using it, or actually have it.
And so the story continues, despite all the medics proving I was unfit for work on 2nd June 2011 Atos failed me, the benefits know im genuine and should not have been failed, my ESA appeal is now at the higher courts in London, Im quite sure what the answer will be but this time Atos have hugely got it wrong, I will up date later as I always wanted to get back into work, I just needed the support that was promised and then kicked out!
Just maybe the Leeds branch have more opportunities for employment?

A shadow within
A shadow of former self, thats how it sometimes feels.
Today they have started me on Fluoxetine with a referral back for counselling, we know Pred can play mind games but with some of the memories those games can be made much worse. I often wonder what it would have been like to have a really nice genuine woman to help me when its really tough, I’ll never know.The medics at times seem more concerned that I live alone, I avoid local music jam nights as I will probably get known as the village idiot even though im good ‘Stu’s a fucked up bundle of fun’.
Today my court stuff gets sent to the higher tier, will publish MPs letter later as at least its confirmed he has taken my case on. My fight of getting sorted carries on, getting my bankruptcy discharge was a relief but also a memory of everything I lost, as mentioned before, mainly through no fault of my own.

Atos, ESA and the failed system
I now have an appointment with my MP Kris Hopkins on Fri morning 13th July, we know the law has not been broken so its going to be a huge matter of principle that the ‘system’ seems to not recognise sarcoidosis, I will be writing an in-depth article on my experience of trying to get help from the benefits system while I was at my worse, which we know the system failed me. Thankfully I appear to be improving even quicker – we think? and my search for appropriate employment will deepen.
All I am after is a system which is fairer to those that can be quite seriously ill but with potential to recover, sarcoidosis is not covered like many other mainstream illnesses, if you put cancer, crohn’s disease, diabetes, and numerous other serious conditions into an illness mixture, what then gets poured out is sarcoidosis, the system fails us big time… -
July sunshine is such a rare treat
Look what I found at 6:45 this Sunday morning, I feel sure answers would need to be scrutinised if delivered on a postcard, but it was a glorious sight!
Here comes the sun – for a little while… -
Seems a little rain keeps pouring down!
In this 2012 July, its just after June but also before August, well it seems we keep having some drizzle, I captured a some of the drops before they stopped…
Here we can see the rain crashing through the sun, yes, some amazing thoughts that the sun was actually shining, hmmm.
As I was looking to catch a walk, well, it started, this has been some of the heaviest rain I have seen while been at Low Mill village.
