I suffer from panic attacks and left my last job due to this,i had a medical two weeks ago to claim sickness benefits and i recieved a letter today saying id scored 21 points and i would recieve £190 a fortnight from benefits.
My friend had a medical and only scored 6 points and has been declared fit for work.
How do they decide this and what are the points for?
