True Vic, very true.

I also understand about the SSDI (disability payments). I will have to be earning over £40,000 a year at least to even pay for my care (well, the care alone is about £25, 000 a year - if I worked I lose benefigts (£12,000 a year).. so before you know it that leaves you £3,000 to live off. not good. I hope that once I have finished my degree I can work and can work well enough for it to be worth my while to. I WANT to work, it's the disability system which charges me for being ill that doesn't!

It's a no win - I have no money behind me, I have no investments, I have an expensive wheelchair, but one cannot call that an asset.

Many of us caught in the bind of if we do ANY paid work then we will lose out to such a degree. It doesn't matter that I will have to have carers to go to work, and I will still need 24 hour care. If I work. I'm cured.

GRRRr

hope things are ok for you.

Love
