Hi all, so I finally got a help call from CAB, The lady helped me fill in the form- I have severe cluster headaches, with constant 24/7 background/shadow pain. I am using oxygen 4/5/6 times a day for around 45 mins a time. so I told the lady all my info etc and we got to the end of the form and she said she would just go through what the assessment would entail, she then said O do you work , and i said yes. She then told me that would be a red flag to the DWP and they would ask loads of questions as to how i manage at work. Well I just do, I just get some oxygen before work, and just plough through the short shift im there for. Today I was crying whilst at work, but I just 'man up' and deal with it. Im now worried that they will say if i can work then i can cope with every other day- I need to work, now im stressing out as to what they are going to say - i really feel like not bothering? Does anyone have cluster headaches and work ?.
One of the questions I would ask you is, has your work made any reasonable adjustments to help you in your day to day work activities? if they have then list what they are ,under other information.
