in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi everyone I’m feeling really stressed , I filled in my UC50 late last night and got so annoyed with it that I’ve made a real mess of it. I have to send it back in a week and don’t know what to do

    It’s available online for you to fill in and print off, if you have a printer. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uc50-form-universal-credit-capability-for-work-questionnaire
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Your library should be able to help.
    You could fill it in electronically at home, then once you are finished with it and satisfied, look into where you can get it printed off.

    Thx Kimmy87 , I’m really stressed about the whole thing, was supposed to get help from an advocate but they are ill. Really wished they’d just have left me alone until next year .

    It is an extremely stressful process, and I'm sorry you don't have the advocate help and support at the moment. 

    I'm finding it stresssful too, since the GP Journal message on 25th May I've heard absolutely nothing more.
    No notification a UC50 is on the way, no notification that I've passed without one, nothing on my online GP notes to suggest DWP contact. 

    At this point although a UC50 would be bad news, it would be better than no news!

    I understand, it’s the stress of not knowing , hopefully they’ll leave you alone. I thought they would’ve me too, I’m not sure they contacted me GP but TBH my GP is so completely useless he probably would even forget to tell them I’m still on all the same meds, he can’t cope with a patient that has MH issues, one told me to try mindfulness, totally useless GP .

    It’s like they want to keep you dangling on a piece of string.
