    Do you get stressed out trying to use this site, great idea but very complicated for me.  Wish they could make it easier to understand

    Hello @astressedlady and @Lindsey54

    I'm sorry to hear you are finding it hard to navigate the community. What could I help with? :)

    Oh no not this site!!! I'm finding this fairly easy to navigate.

    The benefits systems in general! 
    Realising you need them is bad enough without having to then fight for them over and over.

    Oh no Lindsey, stressed at the benefiting system in general 🤦‍♀️

    It's not the most user friendly website I've ever used but I spent 15 minutes looking about and I feel like I've got the general idea now and I like the fonts and colours. 
    I hope you get used to it too, people seem very helpful here 🙂

    Do you need any advice regarding benefits? If so then please do give some information and i'm sure someone will be able to advise you.

    I hope that it does not take me too long to get my head around the system.  I find it takes me longer now to learn some things especially modern computing.  I thought it would be easy as my son make his graphic design stuff seam so simple and my daughter whizzes around using 3 computers at a time.  I suppose it is what you are brought up with.  I can do spreadsheets and word processing.  It got me through college anyhow.  So onward and upward and try perseverance.

    Hello @astressedlady
    If you are having problems with Benefits I may be able to help!!  I had difficulty when applying for PIP's.   I have a number of contacts that may be able to guide you.

    Hey @Lindsey54 don't worry, any new website or community takes a bit of time to get used to with all the various doohickeys and areas.  But try not to let it overwhelm you.  We're all here if you need a hand with anything though. :)

    Easiest way to see things are;

    Top left, you have 'categories', or next to that is 'newest posts'  If you're after specific information, left click 'categories' then just choose on the next page that loads. :)
