I have been on long term incapacity but like nearly everyone else on this I have had the forms which were filled out and returned and now have an appointment for an atos assessment, fully understandable given the benefit changes and I have no problem with this but I hear too many horror stories about it
As I have use of my hands, and a pulse I expect that dwp will decide that my benefit will cease, and I have a few questions regarding this
will I be notified of the date it ceases? how long after the assessment?
can I reapply for benefit right away or does the system really leave you with nothing with no real notice?, I will still be out of work and have no income so surely the least I can apply for is JSA?
I am losing a lot of sleep over the what ifs and fearing the worst, ie losing house
I just want some plain facts and info on whats to come should I fail the assessment, and how I should go about things to proceed without losing my property.
thanks for reading
