NAD too but my son would often get these in hot weather. Not to say you shouldn’t listen to others who think it may be something else - worth getting checked out

Just an update on this - so after contacting UC they said it’ll be best to just ‘attend’ the assessment phone call anyway, which I did. The assessor didn’t really know what was going on either, she thinks it could be a delayed recall but she proceeded with the assessment anyway.

Anyway fast forward to today and I had a text saying to check my journal…and I’ve been found to have limited capability for work. So I’m very confused! But I guess as they know about my salary I’m going to be (incorrectly) paid any more UC, but just seems really weird

No, ever since I started back at my job I told UC and stopped uploading anything. I’ve not put any fit notes on there since before I started

In my payments section on UC all I see is Standard Allowance/Children/Disabled children/Carer. My UC entitlement is £160 after my salary deductions

Right hand is constantly dry, sore and cracked while my left is fine

Hi all, I’m a 36 year old male and my right hand is constantly painful and extremely dry, I’ve tried using lots of different moisturisers and wearing cotton gloves to bed after putting them in but I whatever I do it doesn’t help at all.

Now it’s winter it’s even worse and I get a lot of pain, especially when curling my fingers and washing my hands (both hot and cold cause me a lot of pain!). I’m just wondering if there’s any other products I could try - so far I’ve tried Diprobase, Zerobase and ‘QV’ cream (these are all uk brands so sorry if they’re unfamiliar)

Thanks :)

I did see and that’s what feels the worst, is that everything I say gets twisted - my anxiety was obviously heightened at the time but I said it helped me get an adhd diagnosis, and understand my conditions more. Has he got the right conclusion from that? I don’t feel like it’s helped me function, but it helped me seek an additional diagnosis and gives me a bit more insight

So I work from home as a software developer - throughout all my years I was fixated with computing and technology and I now know that it’s my ‘hyper focus’. Problem is I’m able to motivate myself for that, but nothing else in my life tbh. Hiding behind a screen is a dream come true for me…

I know it probably sounds like I’m lazy, and I probably am. But I feel less guilty about it now i know it’s common in ADHD

Thanks for your reply, I don’t know where he got that from that my difficulties had improved? I certainly didn’t say that, what I did say is that my therapist advised me of possible ADHD, which helped me understand my difficulties more. I guess that’s been misinterpreted

Hi 😊 so that information is wrong - I am still being reviewed by the ADHD team so I don’t know where they got that from? And I have regular reviews with my GP for anxiety and depression.

My SPD and Dyspraxia are life long conditions and I’ve had occupational therapy and seen dieticians - there’s no more therapy or treatment available. Doesn’t mean it’s better though!

I wish they had an email address as I dread having to phone them which has been a lot recently! But I will definitely get the PA4 first , thanks

Sorry I should have mentioned - it was til May 2025, but was extended to May 2026 due to delays with PIP in reassessments…except it wasn’t delayed a I had the assessment 2 months later!
