I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now.

Plus others are having their benefits stopped due to sanctions.Example rent is £800 per month.In comes sanction number 1 with lets stop jsa element and as tenant will have been undoubtedly subsiding their rental costs by jsa; if in private rented accommodation their left in a mess.Whats more the housing benefit of UC is suppose to be untouched when a sanction is applied but unless people make their council office aware of this with a nil income claim their whole housing benefit and council tax claim shuts down.This cant be right or fair.But is happening.
Common sense tells government its this that's the main problem and yet ? THEY DO NOTHING.Once a few more 100 million has been wasted on all this and the Tories are thrown out'hopefully'a new so called debate will begin and a couple of years later something MAY actually be done about it.
Universal Credit supposed to be replacing up to 6 legacy benefits.
THE TRUTH IS certain benefits will be DESTROYED FOR EVER
ESA GONE FOR EVER
SDP GONE FOR EVER
EDP GONE FOR EVER
The Universal Credit replacement benefit ? LWCT Limited work Capability
maximun benefit £326 @ month . Half what ESA was
WHAT AN INSULT
But as we know this will continue and we need UC abolished ASAP.
Because this will continue affecting many, more people.

Prior to UC i was in receipt of 191.00 per week for my Income Related ESA and my rent was paid directly to a private landlord.
My problem was to start after i was offered a Council home in August.
In order to be accepted for the new council property I was forced to sign up to UC.
The appointment at the Job Center on 24 August, just 3 days after I had received confirmation that my recent ESA medical assessment had been processed and my entitlment which included 4 disability top up payments i was awarded £191 per week.
There would be no changes to my disability award.
From the moment i signed into UC i was informed my ESA would be frozen until the new UC allowance was sorted out.
Never at anytime was i made aware of the truth of what would become of the disability allowances from ESA and how they would be evaperated overnight.
It has been 6 months since this time and my losses due to the move into UC is without any doubt left me £344 pcm out of pocket.
That equates to over £4,100 per year savings to this tory govt.
You see i come under the category of Severely Disabled Claimants and it is a fact that any one in this category with severe disability are currently trapped into UC which denies them of thier disability top up components.
In reality it leaves me without adequate monies every month to be able to pay all my priority creditors.
It leaves me in a position of not knowing each month what my end of the month UC allowance will actually be given to me.
Its fluctuated over a 6 months period from amounts as low as £341 for a month and upwards to a one off payment in November which was around £860.
The latest 2 monthly pauments have been in the mid £400s.
With no chance of being able to draw up a budget plan i am left in anxiety by the 3rd week of every month not knowing what my monthly payment will be.
And while i am now fully responsible to pay my Council Rent and Council Tax Im really struggling to deal with such important commitments.
Having £344 less per month now means to me in my health condition that i have no chance of any mental health condition i may have, i dp not feel or believe i can be free in my mind of my financial situation.
I envisage a horrible ending for my newly aquired tenancy.
I only see myself put out on the street as things progress in a downward slope.
I dont believe i can maintain my physical health either and my future looks seriously comprimised now.
I am at a cross road now with a choice to make which can rob me of my stable health condition and lead to my early death.
When you have worked with your support networks for 2 years to achieve the stability ive been enjoying i do mow strongly feel that there is no point trying to fight for my well being and having to suffer the effects of poverty .
Its made me feel a burden to the state.
I am considering this weekend to stop all my life saving medication which will of course return me to the prospects of losing my life.
At least by acting in this way i at least would leave a legacy and hopefully be remembered as the guy who was willing to suffer and give up his life for the sake of this goverments techniques of saving money and at the cost of disabled and sick , vulnerable people in society.
Once my decision is made , it will be final and i will record a daily record of my deteriation up to my impending passing.
I do not reccomend or advocate people taking such drastic action and approving what i am to decide to do.
This Tory Government must be told what is going on in the real world.
Is anyone monitoring the deaths that are happening in relation to Government Benefits Cuts.
