Sorry, I thought I was done, but I'm back ....
Trudge Chalder - that cheeky mare!
Uncertainty.....if she thinks developing any of these conditions is a result of "uncertainty" she clearly has no concept of what it's like to suffer from any of them.
Before becoming sick many hold down well paying jobs and contribute to pension schemes. They can afford to buy insurance policies that will protect them if they have to cancel a holiday, become unable to pay the mortgage through ill health or unemployment etc. (assuming the so and so 'a pay out, but pre illness you're naive enough to believe they will).
Then on becomu ill with a condition which has been arbitrarily rebadged as a MUS. I say arbitrarily because, let's face it, there's no science involved; just opinion and prejudice. Suddenly, they discover their insurer won't pay out, the NHS they contributed to is bog all use, their employer sees the diagnosis and assumes the worst about them. Then there's the benefits system primed against them.
Suddenly, uncertainty everywhere. Whereas before you could face uncertainty with equanimity - you had financial resources, health and faith in your own abilities. Now, you're treated as, at best, a weakling burden on the state, at worst, a lying cheat.
Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll get your measly benefit payout this time (probably less than you previously paid in tax for a month), but you won't necessarily get it next time and they can review you anytime they like.
This woman is clueless.....
