EdibleFuchsiaUpdate number 4 #pip? Just had a super helpful session with a friend who has experience as a respiratory specialist. She's been great at summarising the variable nature of MECFS and why my needs are variable and in combination mean that everything is impossible for me, plus medicalising statements. But also in total agreement that the system is shit and abusive and doesn't help people to feel valued or human or to recognise in any way the real strain they're going through. It would be so much cheaper in terms of mental health, energy costs (to ill people) etc to just give everyone who's sick benefits without question with no checks. Bit like being cheaper to not charge bus fairs. Bring the system down.

This investigation is almost done and will modernize our #cruft #cookiecutter Python template.
vulgalour - Free Range QueerUrgh. Got a letter from DWP regarding my PIP claim. They are telling me I was fine on the phone assessment, which I very much wasn't, and that I've got no medical evidence that I have ME/CFS.
So I guess I'm submitting the diagnosis from the neurologist for the... seventh time?
DWP are disputing that I'm even allowed to take this to tribunal. Is this normal? This doesn't feel normal.
#pip update time. So I had a phone call with someone from Citizens Advice last week. Normally my in-person interactions with CAB have been nothing but praiseworthy, they're great. This one, ugh no. She basically read to me my answers from my first pip application, asked if there was any change, then read me out an answer that fits. I'm pretty sure she was using AI as she was so quick to formulate answers. There was no discussion no advice, until I really pressed her about descriptors. The way she spoke was *almost* as if someone from the DWP was doing a second job as a CAB advisor it was sooo impersonal. Worst bit, she emails me the summary "Dear Client" (yuck- we spoke for 2 hours and you're not using my name?) and she'd changed references to HYPOtension to HYPERtension. Err no, that's not my condition, nor what was described at all and a massive error. So anyway, back to recompiling 3 documents together now (original, CAB revision, my new version). I'm so tired.
SvenSure, using #firefox #pip feature you are able to have the full image of the video & the closed caption in a different window. Why is this not available everywhere? Like watching a #DVD on #VLC?
