yeh its 29 weeks. i will be claiming it, im claiming employment and support atm because of hyperemesis as well.
im surprised they are stopping it. i have to go every 4 weeks to get a new sick note and prescription and there has never been an issue. i just tell them although i am a lot better now i cant do much and even going out shopping makes me really sick, they dont question it.

Aaaw hun I'm sorry

I don't have any answers I'm afraid but you only have 3 weeks to get through and then you can get income support

Iv been putting off going to my medical for months

I was claiming sick benefit as i have something wrong to me that means i have 2 get an op every so often but wi bein pregnant i cant get the op so im quite often in pain, and also i now have SPD. But i know what the benefit place is like so i just kept foning on the day of the medical sayin i wasnt upto coming in

Income support is 29 weeks. Im sure if u appeal you will win your case and get your money back dated!! Its not fair for them to just stop your money!! xxx

maybe you could say you want a second opinion and say that yes you can walk but the really painful and walking around at the drs is very different to being on your feet all day. if you have to exaggerate a bit.
