DWP extreme anxiety

ellie_rsg

Hello. I get pip and LCWRA UC. Ive not had a great week and ive accidentally over the last week gone impulsive and bought some things multiple times over multiple different days (my birthday was sunday so i also wanted to treat myself) its totalled a few hundred.. its made me happy in the moment but now im terrified that they are going to stop my payments or do something bad to me because i spent my money on stupid apex legends coins.. as its my interest right now. im actually so paranoid. i dont have much savings (like 200£) so thats not an issue. but is the fact i spent it on something i enjoy a bad thing? on my bank statement it shows up 7 times over the last week because its been a bad week. im terrified. the anxiety im living with is brutal. can someone please advise me

Hi @ellie_rsg You can spend your benefit money on what you like no one is checking that. You have no need to worry. Take care.

There's no rules on what you can or can't spend your money on, that's entirely your decision. I bought myself a MacBook a couple of weeks ago. It's my money and I can do what I want with it.

Hi @ellie_rsg, Sorry to hear you're feeling like this! You are free to spend your money however you like. It's important to treat yourself to some nice things sometimes, especially around your birthday! 

Big belated Happy Birthday! I hope you had a good day

I saved my money and bought a puppy. Dogs are my main reason for living so I don't care what the Daily Mail thugs say, we are allowed to have a pleasurable life. You have done nothing wrong, don't let them spoil your enjoyment.
