Et overraskende positivt møde på kommunen / A surprisingly positive meeting at the municipal office

I dag var så dagen hvor jeg skulle til samtale med min sagsbehandler på kommunens såkaldte jobcenter. Det er dem der skal forestille at udrede min arbejdsevne og i sidste ende dem der bestemmer om jeg kan indstilles til førtidspension eller om jeg skal ud i fleks-job, skal uddannes eller hvad de nu kan finde på.

Efter at have forklaret min situation nu, og hvordan jeg selv – og div. læger – synes at det er gået ned ad bakke i det sidste år – og have fortalt nærmere omkring min AMC (Arthrogrypose Multplex Congenita) diagnose - var sagsbehandleren inde på at en førtidspension virker mere og mere som den eneste reelle mulighed. Desværre kommer man ikke uden om at skulle igennem et afklaringsforløb på et reva-center.


En anden positiv ting - ud over at sagsbehandleren umiddelbart ikke virker til at mene det er en god idé at jeg for alt i verden skal tvinges ud div. fleks-jobs, uddannelser osv. – er at hun ville indstille til at jeg ikke blev sendt ud i nogen form for aktivering før der foreligger undersøgelser fra Klinisk Genetisk Afdeling således at jeg (og kommunen og læger) bedre ved hvad jeg/vi har at forholde os til. Så alt i alt – hvilket jeg ikke er vant til – var det et forholdsvis positivt møde på kommunen.








Today was the day where I had to have a meeting with my case-worker at the municipalties socalled ”job-centre”. They are the ones who are supposed to clarify my abilities to work and in the end are the ones who decide if I am to be recommended for early retirement due to my health, if I am to have a “flex-job”, are to be educated or what ever they might think of.


After having explained my present situation and how I – and several doctors – feel that it’s been going down hill in the last year – and having explained more about my AMC (Arthrygyposis Multiplex Congenita) diagnosis – my case-worker talked about that early retirement seems more and more like the only real possibility. Unfortunately one cannot get that without clarifying my abilities at a so called “Reva-center”.


Another positive thing – apart from the case-worker apparently feeling that I should not be “forced” into flex-jobs, educations etc. – is that she will recommend that I shouldn’t have to start at the “reva-centre” before I’ve been examined at the Clinical Genetic Ward so that both the minicipalty and I know what I/we’re dealing with. So all in all – which I’m not at all used to – it was a very positive meeting at the municipal office.
