Hello all,
I have been reading everyone's posts and comments regarding UC.
I have to say I feel I am living on a knife edge with all the angst the change to UC has brought upon my Son and myself!
My adult Son (23) has Autism he suffers from extreme anxiety and panic disorder,he was told last Friday he has to move from JSA to UC but will lose the disability premium,I am outraged and sickened by this,as we are in full UC area,he has been given no choice but to move to UC it has caused a weekend of absolute mayhem and more worry for an already very anxious person,I had explained in advance what may have to happen,he stands to lose over £200 a month which like many others has left us feeling distraught and worried how on earth we are to meet with living costs,I support as much as I can but I am on a very low income and lone family,I don't know where to turn, nobody seems to care a jot!
He has PIPs so relieved for him that this won't be affected however,the drop in money is outrageous and will severely affect his quality of life!
He had ESA once but after reassmemt was told he must move to JSA which caused it's own issues with regards to work related groups which caused huge anxiety and panic and now this...it's never ending and a no win situation! Cannot sleep for the worry this is causing!!
Is anyone else experiencing the same with UC??
Sorry for the long post!
From a very worried Mother and Son x
