Benefit Mix-Up Forces Mum Back To Work Despite Crippling Illness That Causes Her Extreme Pain And FatigueFriday 12 January 2018
Benefit mix-up forces mum back to work despite crippling illness that causes her extreme pain and fatigue June Peatman was told by doctors that she was not fit for full-time work as a care worker last year A mum says she has been forced back into work despite suffering from a crippling illness because of a benefits mix-up. Doctors told fibromyalgia-sufferer June Peatman, 46, that she was not fit for a full time job as a care worker last year. Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and fatigue, and extreme sensitivity in the body. It can be worsened by stress, and can also affect the sufferer’s sleep. But June, who moved to Hull in November, says she has been forced to defy doctors orders after a series of errors led to her not receiving housing benefits for two months.
