Do people in your country get social benefits just for having been diagnosed with AS?
Um.....yes.....*feeling ashamed for us not beeing treated as equal*
Here we who gets social benefits is placed in categories of diffrent groups. Im with diagnosed AS is placed in circle 1, which means I have more "rights and privilegies" than those in circle 3....
That means its easier for me to "get what I want". It feels like riding the Titanic and Im in first class watching those in third class drown and Im not proud of it...
But I might soon end up in your lifeboat anyway. I have to apply for new social benefits soon and I have heard that the authorities do more rejections now than before. They are striking harder at us now and its no longer enough with just a paper that states AS confirmed. You have to SHOW and PROVE to the very detail that you cant work and many people fall on the borderline...
Its an very unfair world we are living in
