    Hi @baggy64 and welcome to the community, it's great to have you here.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your situation and that you haven't been granted a home assessment. 

    You are a member of our community and we appreciate you. If you are having thoughts of suicide, it is important that you discuss them with someone who is qualified to help. Please call the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) or email them at jo@samaritans.org. You might also benefit from reading MIND’s information on how you can help yourself. If you feel that you may be an immediate danger to yourself, please call 999 or go to your local hospital right away.

    Many people feel worried ahead of their assessments but we have plenty of friendly community members and advisors who are here to help. Is there anything in particular that's worrying you at the moment?
