Trying to sort out this benefits appeal, its a nightmare.. very stressed about it, but I hope it eventually goes well. I have been without money for a while but I live with my parents so its ok. I hope it all goes ok. I'm not very good at dealing with stress, but I am sat here with my cup of tea and the cat so thats nice I suppose.

I'm sorry you're finding it so difficult @Astr0cent.
What stage are you at with your appeal, have you done your Mandatory Reconsideration? Do you claim any other benefits? -
Hi there, unfortunately they denied my mandatory reconsideration. I've been getting help so I've had to take it to a tribunal. I'm in the process of compiling all the evidence together to help me. I have a lot of support usually but since the coronavirus has come at the wrong moment it's meant accessing the support has been difficult. I'm very nervous about this tribunal. I want it to go well.
