Extra costs for my disability

I have to pay for every thing needed to repairs on my home, grass cutting, plus I’m gluten free eating and they are so expensive, your trying to eat healthy but cost me so much, at times I go without till I get my benifit which January such a long month, can’t wait till next wed. Anyone else have this problem with food, Money’s so tight, I am getting all my entitlement, plus waiting For February to see if you are awarded another year is so stressful, they let you know right at the end to let you know, surely they can let you know at least a month before, so you can calm down.

I'm sorry to hear that things are so tight financially at the moment- I can certainly relate to the expensive free-from food situation!
You mentioned that you're getting all of your entitlement, but you might want to check whether there are any other benefits you're entitled to by using the benefits calculator (if you haven't already). We also have a great blog post all about money and budgeting by @Lasian_Scope with lots of useful links and information which you may find useful.
