I suffer with extreme anxiety and diagnosed CPTSD, I am due to transfer to UC shortly and am really worried about managing a journal online. How often do I have to go on to it and how often do they review your claim? I struggle to remember things

    Hey there @miKt2 and welcome to the community. 😊

    Honestly, the online journal is no problem, you'll get notifications when you need to do something important. It could be worth having a little notebook, or set reminders on your phone if you're worried about forgetting things?

    You are meant to check every week as they don't always send notifications via text or email. Perhaps you could use a reminder on your phone as suggested above.

    Personally I haven't received anything on my journal for about 6 months now. I do check it at least once a month though.

    The reviews are totally random, there is no set timescale for those.
