Hey everybody! Finally good news!
Just got a letter - they're going to pay my disability pension another two years *wipes sweat off forhead*

My hands and knies are still trembling; had a hard time trying to open that letter :)

16. Yes, until they are finally satisfied that I won't return to being healthy
Even their own experts/appraisers (not sure which word would be right here) doubt it, but with pension funds at an all time low they don't want to make too many promises I suppose.

20. BfA (government) and journalist's pension.
For that journalist thing I'm still waiting but they usually do what BfA does. They aren't as dangerous to me anyway because from them I get a "not being able to work as a journalist anymore"-pension (it's clear to the blind that I cannot do that anymore) while the BfA only pays for "not being able to work at all".

7. Yes, it takes a load off me.
Also I can remain independent and don't have to rely on SO and/or relatives.
