I am SO incredibly grateful for the help from the AAs, Spirit, and all other Light Beings.
Long story short -or trying to keep it short-: I can't work due to physical ailments after 2 accidents.
That means I'm on well-fare, small income, but it is what it is. Now the gov. org. that pays that benefit wants you to get a job, apply for jobs, and if not succeeding do volunteers work. That's what this gov. department has to do to make sure people don't take advantage of the system.
Problem is for some like me who seriously cannot work but they then still try to get you to work.
That problem came up when I first got in the benefit situation, but after a number of attempts to get me to work they realised I wasn't talking nonsense. They finally got the message and left me be. No mandatory volunteer's work or applying for jobs.
But then in 2020 new management, new people employed that had to sift and sort through everyone having a benefit, trying to get them to work.
And hallelujah, I was a winner, not. Time and again I had to go over to meet with my client manager, I explained my situation but even though he listened it didn't really register. He just stuck to the rule book.
After a helluva lot of hassle I filed a complaint. In the meantime I got a neurologist involved, had to go through a lot of examinations (MRI, neuropsychological examination) and finally I had it in black & white from a doctor: I have TBI.
Something I already knew, but of course they don't believe you. Now it was official.
My neurologist recommended medical rehabilitation, not to get me back to work as that isn't possible, but to maybe improve the quality of my life a bit.
I did one stint but it wasn't nearly enough as my body & head can't handle much so I had to do a 2nd stint of med. rehab. Total of 8 months.
All the time the gov. department left me alone, as agreed, awaiting results from the med. rehab.
I could relax during that time, a bit at least, but in the back of my mind I knew it was going to surface again.
And it did 2 weeks ago...
But unlike the first time in 2020 I wasn't overwhelmed, I didn't get stressed out. I was totally adamant that I was going to get the dispensation I wanted. I asked Spirit and the Lightbeings, AAs to help me, but I didn't do that every day like one would when under stress. I was totally trusting, convinced and adamant I was going to get it.
What did help that the man I had to deal with in 2020 had left and I had another, new client manager. He seemed a lot more cooperative and he actually listened.
He still needed proof from a doctor though if he was to grant me dispensation, and he did try to talk me into volunteer's work. But I stood solid, not wobbling or anything. And I kept hammering it home, "I can't because XYZ, I want dispensation."
Today I emailed him the letter I got from my med. rehabilitation doctor and... that was enough! No need to get a occupational doctor in (who don't know anything much about TBI and are usually just *****s), but that's the normal route.
Took me nearly 2 years, a lot of stress, got me back to smoking because of that, lots of arguing, filing complaint etc. etc. BUT... I got it!!!
I was SO relieved when I heard about an hour ago, a tremendous emotional release from my Solar Plexus, I almost collapsed, hihi.
Just goes to show how much stress this caused and was held in my system, even though I thought it wasn't too bad. But it's always in the back of your mind somehow, so there IS stress.
I'm so proud of myself that I stood my ground, didn't falter, that I trusted the AAs, Spirit, and Light Beings, and to not become like a scared person who overasks time and again.
In a way I just knew, and I guess you then also get LoA to kick in and help out.
So a long story, but I needed to share. Part of the emotional release, hihi.
