hi all, thanks for ur replies, i have decided to hand in my notice after christmas when should i tell the SW, my gp says i would need at least 3/6more months off (suffer severe panic/anxiety attacks and depression) i am attending counselling and my last session with my counsellor is in march and then they will assess me again. after this period i hope to look for some pt work to ease back in to it as it will be 2 yrs in march since i first went on disability benefit, i was 5 months pregnant at the time so i had my maternity leave in between,
