We were due this Friday to have a session on benefits with Benefits Expert Ann Innes. Unfortunately she took unexpectedly ill this week. The session will now be run by me, Ben Wickens, and will be looking at Crashes, Setbacks and Relapses. I have had ME/CFS for about 11 years and had Long COVID since Jan 2022. I have had my share of setbacks and relapses and I have also supported many in the group during my (almost) decade as co-chair of Stockport ME Group.
The session will be largely based on a session I delivered for Long Covid Support although will be more geared around ME AND Long COVID rather than focussed on Long COVID. There will also be a few minor changes taking into account feedback and learning from that session. There will be plenty of scope to ask questions during the session and much more time at the end. That said if you were at that session or have watched the recording on Zoom or YouTube then you might want to give the session a miss.
It is not ideal me running another session so soon after doing a few this year but even though Ann gave as much notice as she could there wasnt really enough time to secure an alterative speaker. I also did not want to do a session on benefits myself as that would really take too long to research and prepare, and its been 10 years since I have had to do anything personally with Work Related Benefits.
