Three cheers for cheelu

Lovely to hear from you nellie - I'm sure you'll be wonderful at the volunteering work. Glad your son's getting settled.

nelliesmol, Good to know you're going to do voluntary work. I do hope you enjoy it. I know I do. Good luck.

Go, NellieSmol...one step at a time.

Voluntary work is great in lots of ways Nellie, so enjoy it.

Thank you all,really enjoyed my morning shadowing another adviser I was asked for my input and came home armed with a complimentary briefcase full of things I will need and a diary full of calls with a shadow and training dates,my first couple where a lovely couple and I so hope they get the AA they need and deserve....came out to find a message on my phone ...for a job interview would you believe,this will be Thursday it is for a school kitchen,hope I can combine the two if I get the paid job as it will be term time only ideal when E is home.
martin is happy in his little house,Sunday I reclaimed my territory by buying new cushions and putting furniture back where I wanted it

Do you understand the criteria for DLA, AA ESA? They are all quite complicated.

Sounds as though things are definitely looking up, Nellie! I'm so glad

NellieSmol I'm receiving well-deserved good vibes. Very happy for you. x

jeni fortunately I don't have to make those decisions,but I know a certain amount about benefits from my own experiences,with DLA as my daughter had epilepsy and mum had AA and E has DLA and AGEUK where happy with my knowledge of them,we have a benefit review form that is filled out to highlight if other benefits are required then they are sent back to the office for an experienced officer to see who has qualified,I am going on a DWP course to be enabled to issue forms on the day otherwise they are self requested by cx....I would love this as a paid job....
ana Thankyou

Fingers crossed for you smollie, let's hope this is just the beginning of a run of good luck for a change

Thanks ella

With you all the way, Nelliesmol xx
