| Today I was having a blood transfusion after losing six pints of blood owing to Kidney failure. I am already a kidney transplant patient and an agency worker hence while my body is missing six pints of blood and I am on the brink of kidney failure I am unable walk let alone work. I claimed ESA and ATOS based on what my GP and Renal Consultants said passed me on my medical. However the DWP have harassed me constantly and today during treatment Shireen from North Kensington Job Centre phoned and demanded I go on a back to work assessment. I told her as I told her manager yesterday I was in hospital having treatment and I had a job when I get well again but I was too ill. She continued to harass me demanding I find the Consultant and ask him what time I would be finished having the six pints of blood put inside me. Eventually I became upset and drew the attention from the nurse and eventually the consultant. I offered to put the Consultant on to speak to Shireen at the job centre but she refused but told me to talk to him and find out what time I finished. I told her I wasn’t fit to work and if I was I HAVE A JOB but she ignored me and continued to get me upset. Is there any advice you can give me because I was in the middle of treatment when she did this and I am entitled to treatment.I have kidney failure but to ill for dialysis or a transplant and they need to work with me, I had to have six pints of blood and she refused to listen to me she even laughed.Should you find this disgusting like we do you may want to write to the manager at this job centre and complain. |
