Good luck to anyone making a claim, I know it seems depressing to say all the things you can't do/ how bad lupus can be (particularly for those who like to stay positive about their health condition) but remember to tell them what it's like when you are at your worst, and when describing variations from day to day use the phrase "on my better days" rather than "on good days" or they assume you are fine on "good days".

This is very useful ta I am off to Job Centre tomoz to see if I can get anywhere. I was unsuccessful the first time but now finding it very hard to get back to work as having chemo for kidney failure. Might have more luck this time!?

Lupus can be just as serious as cancer! :mad:
