I dont like working.
i know what you mean gavman, there is no life outside of work but resting and being motivated to work is hard when there isnt much petrol in the tank and what keeps u going is to stop the bank from repossessing your home and providing for your family, going on disability and going through all the drama involved would leave you on the street until if/it or was approved. I also understand those that cant work wanting to work, i dont think either options with cfs are much of a life. Until cfs is recognised as a real illness i think getting any sort of pension will be hard to get. We all have different circumstances and for me being the bread winner with a family makes things hard for me. cheers!!I dont like working.
The ATO would also like the bank interest too!
