I feel capable of work UTI of bupe. And have applied for several jobs and secured some interviews whilst UTI. Ive just had to turn down an interview for a job i feel quite confident i could have got, not many people would want to do it, and my experince would put me in very good stead. Ive got several weeks of recovery to go through otherwise if and when i rejoin the workforce.
I dont know how they assess psycholgical reasons for limited capabilty for work, i had a doctors note for stress and depression, but never went down the ESA route nor told them anything about my drugs problems. It would have just added to the stress of everything, and constantly having to be reassesed for that is just taking the piss. Psychological things are so hard to proove one way or another, far more complicated than having a physical disabilty. Not that im dismissing physical disabilties, just that its so much more complicated.
