The war pension is protected from cutbacks. If you have been awarded it for life, then life it is. What they can reassess is the DLA many claim, although as war pensioners, they are looked favourably on as kicking loads off it would cause a public outcry.

Lots of replies. I'll read them all later after work.
Yesterday I was told at work that next week I'll be getting a Written Warning about not hitting my hourly count. There's another guy that's been scanning the same bad boxes of documents as me and he can't get the hourly count either. I find it's very unfair, even the fastest scanning people can't get the hourly count if the document are bad.
I would join a Union but I'm sure that I'll be dismissed within a month or 2.
This week my back is really painful. The co codamol doesn't do much.
Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment. I don't want pills etc. I just want to know if I've slipped a disc. I'll ask him if I can have a scan

Has your Employer got any Occupational Health or Employee Assistance Programmes?..Ask your Human Resources Department about those.
Every Employer is different or has different standards; rules etc. ...you have to go over what is written and what is stated in your contract papers and your Employee's Handbook if you've got one.''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''

UPDATE:
Went to see the physio at a cost of £65. She didn't think I've got a slipped disc, and has given me some exercises to do plus a free month's pass at their gym. So I'll start tomorrow or Friday.
Been off work since Xmas with these pains and stinking colds. I am thinking of quitting - I'm in too much pain in my back while standing. And when I'm sitting there's too much pain in my back, neck and shoulders. Even if I find a job, walking about gives me sharp pains in my ankle. Think I'm ready for the knackers yard, lol.
Anyway, I'll see how I am after going to the gym for a month and will probably start searching for a new job after my holiday in the Phils.
I hate most of the guys I work with anyway. Chavs and trouble-makers off the housing estate.

Tony..I feel for you!
Back and neck pain can be almost intolerable..Long term,I bet it gets you down.
I truly hope that your Doc gets you to see specialists that can investigate and get to the true cause.
On top of all that,as if you dont have enough to deal with you have to deal with UK CHAVS!!
Poor .......!
Sounds to me like you could be a genuine candidate for disability allowance.

Been going to the gym every 2 or 3 days for 2 weeks. Been taking it easy there and doing exercises at home. I don't feel I'm getting any better yet. I am thinking that I've got arthritis of the spine and neck - the same as my mom.
Now my sick note ends in 2 weeks and I'm off to the Phils in 3 weeks, so I'm thinking of quitting the job. Or should I ask the doctor for another sick note instead? I don't like ringing work and telling them I'm going to be off longer. It's nearly 3 months off I've had now. But if I quit, I'll be losing the sick pay.
What do you guys think I should do?
