Dear Newsgroup Members,

I have been on Incapacity Benefit for the past three years due to developing
Osteoarthritis in both hips. I am currently on the Long Term Absence
Register at work.


I have applied for Ill Health Early Retirement but have been denied this
Because my company doctor states that I have a condition that can be
Rectified with an operation.


When my employer's were offering Voluntary Redundancy Packages I asked if I
Could apply, I was told that I could not apply as I was on the Long Term
Absence Register


I was taken off Incapacity Benefit after visiting my local benefits office
For an assessment. It was in their opinion that I could do a 'form' of work.


My GP then signed me unfit for work due to suffering from depression.
I have an ongoing case in the tribunals against my employers and I recently
Saw an independant Physiotherapist who informs me that I have only 10%
Movement in my right hip. Does this qualify me for Disability Living
Allowance?


I would be grateful for any feedback on these issues.


Thanks in advance


Bob
