Preparation

WE’RE TRYING to get ourselves mentally prepared for My Good Lady’s benefits medical on Wednesday.

The trouble is the medical services don’t always play fair with disabled people.

Nothing novel in this, of course, but with the new government demanding cuts, cuts, cuts – we’re dreading the worst.

We’ve had to fight, in the past, for MGL’s rights as a disabled person, once to the point of taking it up to the Lord Chancellor’s office.

And yes, we’ve won every single time, but it really is a hard slog, especially to one who is already in considerable physical discomfort and in a certain state of mental vulnerability.

Nothing for it, though, we just have to turn up at the appointed hour and hope for the best.
