Ok. Had a second call.. and they will backdate money etc. they say it will not affect benefitS.. I hope it not affect housing benefits etc.. anyway. Normally good things happen to other people and not to me so I am a bit worry. But Anyway. I hope it will be ok.

That sounds like good news @Schildpad! As it's their mistake, this kind of money is usually not regarded as capital so it shouldn't affect your benefits ☺️

I've not seen any news so far @Catherine21, but perhaps there'll be some tomorrow.

@Schildpad Most of the time it is a year but under some circumstances where it was down to an error of law, it can be disregarded for the length of the claim. There's a little bit of information on this PDF if that's accessible to you. If you're not too sure, it may be worth getting in touch with a benefits adviser to see where you stand. You could try searching on the Turn2Us - AdviceFinder or contacting Citizen's Advice ☺️

Thank you. Will read the attachment. It if long but I will.. I will not think too much about it . But he said it does not count As income.. I hope he did not lie. Will see the coming letter. When I read the letter will see.. but to be honest this is too distressing in general. Always scared about it. They cut or they don't.cut the benefits. If I could do something I would rather be on work. But not sure I could cope with it.. it is not wort it.it is very hard to carry on everyday.. and of course they will move to UC eventually. I hope they leave me alone this year but surely will be next year. Still I feel very suspicious but let see what happens. Now will try to relax.. but hard to. I feel eventually they will cut them.. all.governments are attacking,. . Good night.

Morning luvpink, sorry to hear about your condition. From chats with someone, I believe it flares up worse some days than others?

My day started well as I took car to get alloy wheels "dipped" and repainted to remove awful high kerb scratches. They are a nice friendly bunch you in Middlesbrough.

The walk back home is very pleasant.

@BroughAndy

Hi thank you.

Yes fibromyalgia is a fluctuating condition and I am in a flare up today but the sun is shining here and I'm going out later with some friends to a little fishing village by the sea, not far from where we live.

Morning everyone, hope you're all well today.

That's a lot to deal with @Amberpearl, no wonder you're feeling upset! Hopefully the cardiologists and other specialists can get you feeling more comfortable soon. Look after yourself 💛

Rosie_Scope

Hope you're okay @Amberpearl, it's understandable that you're feeling scared and upset by it all. Take each day as it comes and try to relax if you can manage it. I know that's probably easier said than done with all that's going on but as someone suggested above, maybe lots more cat cuddles are in order 💛

Fingers crossed that you're not waiting too long for the cardiology referral to come through.
