Conflicted about PIP

The recent news regarding PIP has been very distressing to me, I somehow have both a learning disability and difficulties. My issues mostly lie in managing money, I got into debt with the Council several times for missed payments. Communicating with new people so I usually work in a small shop stockroom. Also some meal prep, telling when a piece of chicken is ready, opening jars etc.

Although I feel better than I did two years ago, I struggle to see the right time to talk to DWP. They are so intimidating the fear of being accused of fraud scares me off from contacting them. I do not know when my next review is due.

    I use assistive AI with my writing to catch grammar and punctuation mistakes but last time they did not care about that. They questioned me having a GCSE but did not consider the fact I had to resit it three times and have 25% extra time.

    I find an Air Fryer easier to operate than a gas oven, it automatically turns off when finished and makes a beeping noise to alert me when it is done. True there is a timer in the clock app but I don’t always remember to set it.

    I am happy I am not as reliant on my sister as I used to be but fear relapsing if I lost the PIP. Hearing people spreading rumours about people faking makes me nervous too. I don’t know what to do.
