Hi. Hello to everyone. My names Paul. My first posting. Short as have to go to mental health centre. I'll make further comments later. Last week I had an emergency assessment after I phoned 111 scared I'd kill myself a completely had lost control. It was at 4 am to ascertain if I was able to be left unsupervised,on my own. Guess what 4 days later my DWP assessment your health journey is over,I'm fit to work!! If they had let me rest for a few months without going through this hostile nauseating process I perhaps would have been. 40 years never had a benefit. Not raking this laying down I assure you. Anyway off to mental facility. Yet another assessment. Have a good day everyone! Paul (gad a depression sufferer)

Hi @paulatbridgescourt, and a warm welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us, and I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a tough time lately. I'm sorry that you're having to deal with these assessment issues on top of that too.
Glad to hear you're hopefully going to be accessing some support today that will help move things forwards. Do let us know how you get on, and we'll advise where we can.
