Hello

my name is @governmentsdontcare .
I have just gone through the process of being moved across from esa contribution based to U/C and new stlyle esa !
What a faff! They need to make the whole thing so much clearer !!!
Thank goodness for Citizens Advice for all the help they’ve given me, not just through this process but for many years regarding benefits and tribunals etc!
Only today after talking to a lady at citizens advice have I finally figured out I actually have now got the correct benefits from them! Such a relief after weeks of worry, I have very bad mental health problems so the future is yet another stressful unknown regarding benefits etc, I’m nearly 61 by the way.
My wife will retire at the end of July when she turns 66, heaven knows what will happen to my, our u/c then!!!!????
