Mental Stress caused by claiming benefits

For the last 2 yrs I have been passing out. I have fractured my scull, broken a vertebrae in my back, smashed my knee which is still very swollen today. I even had the embarrassment of passing out in the waiting room of my GP surgery, my lousy luck was that it was flu jab day and the place was full. Every GP came out to help, the waiting room cleared but everyone could hear everything. I was out of it for 5 minutes and came round in an ambulance. That was before Xmas and am still awaiting a Neuro consult and have passed out twice more since then. I live on my own with a small dog. Maybe it will take me to be found dead from hurting myself during one of these episodes before I get any serious care and that will be from the pathologist in the morgue. I've already passed out with the stress of having to fill out another ESA form and am sick with worry that they will take it away from me which means I'll also lose my DLA which was awarded for life. God knows how I'm going to cope with the change over to PIP which I've yet to experience. I just can't take this anymore. You have to sell your soul to the devil to get anything out of this government or to die trying. I think that we should on mass contact the young Royals who are doing so much for mental health and tell them that behind their backs the government is pushing more and more of us to the edge of insanity and for some, towards suicide. Sorry for the rant, just get so frustrated....
