I haven't heard of the one you are talking about, but I am aware of
it. I just joined as someone suggested it cause of my burning pains
etc and numbness. I have been diagnosed with Low glucose Intolerance
level. I am on a disability pension here in Tasmania - Australia
mainly cause of other things. What social security benefit are you
going for, I don't know the system where you are, but I know in
Australia, people claim sickness benefits because of their doctors
referral, otherwise they are granted a disability pension by the
payments doctor, which I have to go up again for review soon.
