    Catherine, when I realised they expected me to give up because of the substantial risk of harm to myself and others, I knew I couldn't. I knew the suicidal ideation wasn't normal but that I'd survived each time. My concern was that other people might not have reached such lows so often to know recovery is possible. I also knew that my daughter would never understand the documents and administration I was dealing with to hold anyone to account. She's the same age as yours.The bereaved families from the first failed reassessment programme are why I'm still here.

    My subsequent autism diagnosis allowed me to believe what I'd read despite what was being reported by the media and despite my MP's denials.

    One thing that concerns me, is that if my monthly payment for UC is £809, I live in a care home on respite until a supported living flat becomes free and it is mostly paid for by Durham County Council, but I pay £626.776 towards it as a contribution. I am on LCWRA, so if this is stopped, I won't be able to afford it.

    It's got me worried.

    It's a bit of both. I have cerebral palsy, but i have anxiety and depression as well.
