I'm sorry for your loss. Are you claiming any benefits? if so which ones? Do you own or rent your home?

You didn't answer any of the questions I asked. If you don't answer then I can't help you.

Hello @coldcustomer, welcome to the community. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your mum, that must have been really difficult. I can see Poppy has asked you a few questions to see if she could advise you. If you're able to give us a few more details then maybe we can suggest some things that you could look into to help you pay your bills 😊
Have you ever used a benefits calculator? Sometimes they can be a good place to start if you're not sure what you could be entitled to:
If you're disabled yourself and struggling with energy or water bills, Scope have a support service that you might like to have a look at. I'll leave the link below:

Sorry to hear you're feeling so terrified @coldcustomer, it sounds like you're going through a lot.
Do you get any support for your mental health at all?
We're going to send you an email today, so please look out for that 😊

Hey @coldcustomer Rosie has only just sent you the email, you may have just got a notification from the community that she'd commented. The email should be with you shortly. 😊

Hello @coldcustomer, the email should be with you now 😊 I realise how much strength it takes to reach out for help, so I hope we can get you some support.
Do you feel able to explain on your universal credit journal why you might find the interview about work difficult? Perhaps they can rearrange it to a telephone interview if you're feeling up to that.
Is your PIP phone call for a review or something else?
I hope things start feeling easier soon.
