    I'm not ok whatsoever with the UC calls and mind games. Nearly 18 years of mandatory WFI's and 'work plans'.

    Strawberry, there is nothing for me to win; I'm just holding on. I come on here to find people vomiting at the prospect of ringing UC once or twice a year and that's nauseating..

    Nearly 18 years of this persecution by DWP and I've been struggling to cope since they rang me two days before Christmas. My MH is being suffocated by job centre agents pretending not to know my claims history or my medical history.

    I can't even begin to talk about autism because this forum no longer feels safe for me, as an autistic woman. I feel very alone with my autism and I'm slowly shutting down.

    But thank you, Strawberry, for thinking of me. When I feel bad, I withdraw and perhaps you do, too.

    Thank you, Emilee, I joined this forum ranting about how DWP had 'migrated' three Incapacity Benefit/Income Support claims to ESA, sent me a P60u every year despite never claiming or receiving taxable benefits and made repeated mandatory referrals to Work Programme despite being rejected by the original provider. Nobody here could make sense of it.

    I first saw a DEA in 2008 and spoke to one a fortnight ago who promised the 28-day appointments would stop as they were so stressful. Two days later, I got a 'reminder' text for the original cancelled appointment the following day. They rang 3 times then claimed I had "failed to attend" the WFI. They pretended not to have my landline number and rang my mobile which I can't speak on. Then they pretended that my 'fit note' had expired. They kept this up for almost two years in 2021/22.

    The agent who knowingly actioned those referrals began ringing me again last year, pretending I was a new claimant.

    I can hardly believe they can't view your claim history, is this all from the same office and staff? It's a pity you don't feel able to ask for help here.

    You have as much right as anyone else to comment on your struggles. I for one care about what you have to say.

    I care too @WhatThe you deserve better than this. This forum should be a safe place for you to discuss your issues and ask for support.

    Class 1 NIC Credits stopped in the same tax year I applied for IB/IS. I was forced to make two further claims and my original PCA qualifying start and end dates were re-sequenced twice.

    I have written confirmation from DWP that I continued to be entitled to Class 1 Credits until my claim was converted to ESA but they were never awarded.

    P60u. I have never claimed JSA but apparently became entitled to UC from 1st April 2013.

    I received three P45's for my three 'migrated' ESA claims.

    Yes, YouSoapStar. All from the same job centre. All because I made a formal complaint about their handling of my first claim.

    The passive aggression on the forum is so dispiriting - Albus wouldn't have allowed it to become commonplace.

    He understood the trauma of late diagnosis and uniquely, he understood autistic women's experiences.

    Dawn Mills said "I always knew who I was, Now I know why I am" She was diagnosed at the age of 56.

    Take care.

    Why are 'non-binary people' even linked to late diagnosis for women?

    Autistic men and 'non-binary people' would be a more appropriate association.
