Hello I got my second letter from Ruthbridge today! Haha

Clearly I have alienated folk here it would seem. I really apologise. But my situation is desperate. I need help

Absolutely fed up. I really am... It's wearing me down

Rainbo Can I be sanctioned for my 71.00 assessment phase ESA tho? Not looking forward to my meeting. Every two weeks. It's an ordeal for me just to attend these meetings and the AA meetings. All this is has made me a whole lot worse throughout all this.

Thanks Rainbo... I hear you Honey Bee... I am ever so sorry about my comments, my anxiety is mega up... I have to go see my Work Provider in two and half hours. The night before meetings are horrible, it get to me badly. In about an hour or so I will be piling out all the booze I have being drinking since five this morning. I really do hope you can accept my apology. I don't know why I spoke to you like that. So sorry.

Thanks IMS

Hi I guess some of you are bored with me now, however I feel that my recent threads have being adversely affected. Timeline ... 1. Applied for ESA in July 2011 2. Prior to this I was asked to attend a4e on the Work Program in June 2011 3. I got signed off my doctor as per ESA application. 4. A4e still pursued me, telling me to attend meetings, they switched me over to Turning Point in Nov 2011. 5. Ever since I have being involved with Turning Point attending as they request meetings with them at a4e's office to current date. 6. Turning point tell me I have to attend AA meetings as a minimum condition to receive my benefits. 7. I have failed my ATOS assessment, I returned an appeal, that failed, tribunal is now awaiting a date to be heard. I have being advised that whilst on ESA at the assessment rate on this forum, that my involvement, with any agencies is against the rules, and they can't enforce anything on me whilst being on the assessment phase. Although I have being advised that its a Condition Management Program which is mandatory.... I ask, pleading for help. What's is my position? Many thanks to those who can help, please. Many thanks

Hi HB I thought that about the hour thing... I don't know why, weird. However its strange I have had no responses. They usually reply quiet helpfully and timely. That's odd. Thanks and regards

Hi HB In my super brief use of Forums and threads the more the posts it seems to get diluted... Should I open a new thread? All it is I have being given conflicting advice within this thread and the other one I mentioned above (today) My lil Noodle is smoked that's all. Thanks and regards.

Hi HB... I would just be repeating myself! As I say if anyone can offer any help based upon my comments and those responses i received TODAY, I was be grateful, extremely so! Thanks and regards.

Hi HB The ones timed at 14:46, 15:59 and 17:07 by myself. Thanks for any advice Regards

Hello... Can anyone provide further help regards the posts I have made today? Many thanks

Erika Thanks for the advice. My concern is still regarding information release regards attendance.... The chap from the Work Provider is an ex drug addict, he knows all about the system of AA and NA, the Big Book etc. I think he could, in some way, establish my attendance, perhaps by back channels, if you know what I mean. Thanks

Thanks ABC I have read that... Still unclear it mentioned CMP being for twelve weeks only. I have being participating since Nov last year. If indeed this is what I am participating in? It's unclear if its for ESA at the assessment phase or main phase ESA. Any help please guys... Regards
