I don’t need anyone to reply, I’m just letting off stress. I literally am so drained by waiting to see what happens with PIP, LWCRA & UC, all which I get. Getting PIP was one of the most hellish experiences and I’m still traumatised to this day and it runs out next summer, then I’ll have another assessment.. well I’m meant to. I’d assumed Liz Kendal would be having an ongoing relationship with charities, with her ideas and strategies, instead I feel like a lamb to the slaughter as she decides to make a hellish experience even worse. I try to picture how I’d cope without that money, how it pays for things that can be so different day to day, with a chronic and fluctuating condition like Multiple Sclerosis, how I only just have enough as it is. It’s causing me so much anxiety. Why can’t Liz share her thoughts so we have some idea. This voucher idea, or claiming with receipts is just hellish and leaves us with no dignity whatsoever and is yet another thing to have to understand & remember. I know the media speculate, but out of her own mouth she’s said things that concern me. I wish we had an advocate who would put us out of our misery, get some answers and stick up for us. I just feel that something harsh is coming our way. I want to think she’ll be understanding but ultimately she wants to cut the bill.
