Fuming

I just tracked down the indecipherable phone message that was waiting when I got home to my GP's surgery. Apparently Wheelchair Services have refused to give me an assessment as 'you ticked the box for using it three days a week or less'. What I actually said to the GP was 'I don't know how much I'll use it, if it makes enough of a difference to let me get back to work it could be every day, but I just don't know.' She was the one who decided to tick the three days a week or less box. This is why tick-box exercises don't work for disability (as Atos repeatedly demonstrate).

Due to the family situation meaning I need to head back North as soon as possible I had to say I couldn't sort it out by asking for another appointment with the GP to rehash it, but I need to go back to the GPs to pick up a repeat prescription, so I'll probably drop off a letter asking her to resubmit the form with 7 days a week checked, and possibly include a covering note explaining exactly why I need specialist seating advice, and ask her to include it.

Grrr! *headdesk*

FOR FUCK'S SAKE. THAT IS INFURIATING. Dropping off a letter (or maybe getting a phone appt...?) sounds like a good plan.
