Anyone else in the process of filling in one of these? I'm currently filling one in for A, who is finding it stressful on account of her anxiety. There were some questions we didn't quite understand and I had intended to ring up the ESA about them, but the day has been very busy. There'll be another...

She wanted to see him in action. She made the arrangement with M's employers and I don't know if she said anything to them about the 30 minute limit, but now they're telling him to ask the support worker to go to her meeting first, then come and watch him when she has more time.

It's a small family business and the plan was supposed to be that only members of that family were supposed to give M orders plus a certain member of staff who is in charge when the employers are not there - a man and his wife. Now they let anyone and everyone give him things to do. Furthermore, the...

Hi George, You sound like a teenager talking that needs permission from his parents to do anything, instead of a 39 year old. When adult children don't leave their home at a time when most other people of their age would be doing so, the parents can miss the join when they move from childhood to adu...
