    @somedays my son argued with my neighbours next door a month ago, as they block a shared entry and left rubbish (Birmingham has ongoing bin strike) outside our house. I try to get along with them, and keep the peace. it's a love hate relationship. Both my son and the neighbours wife are very hot headed. My other neighbours are all lovely. It's hard with troublesome neighbours, nowadays it's very common, as we fight for space and peace.

    that’s right. There’s really no need for any of it. All it causes is stress, and that’s the last thing any of us need with these welfare cuts going on

    i am still waiting for my UC call…. and they are not calling. They are late. and my anxiety is over the roof.. maybe they are very busy… i just do not understand… anyway. is it normal for them to be late. I do not want them to say they did call.. as i have the phone on my hand. ….. i hate all these… this is just too much to bear…… i hope they will call… i got the pone on my hand…. i mean literally. i just do not understand.. they will probably make me wait all day ……. this is awful

    @Schildpad it's very hard for you, but they most probably are just late, they could overrun on previous calls.

    Just try to remember you are not doing anything wrong. You are anxious because it is a big thing for you. I was exactly the same in December, but you will get through this. Just make a point of answering any of the questions they ask, be honest, and tell them how you are finding this very difficult and confusing and that you are anxious this is a part of your difficulties, you can't help this, you need the support from them to complete the transition.

    I hope everything goes accordingly and you get through this call and start to feel alot less anxious. Good luck.

    @Elvisdog thank you.. i had the phone call but system still said i have to provide with more stuff… like a tenancy agreement etc.. and probably the will come up with more stuff. i got an appointment to the job centre to provide for these information and i hope all that will suffice because i am having enough… all these really drain me.. so tired….. mentally.

    right know i can not do much.. got an appointment on 21st July so if i provide that info hopefully will be all done. but i just do not know.. so so sick of all these.. and always scared always …. my mind can not rest .. also feel everybody specially from the job centre, DWP etc.. are against me.. so i am always scared they are there to get me…… this is not life…. so afraid all the time.. now i will go for a stroll and i hope i will calm down a bit.. in any case ca not do anything till the 21st july…

    @Schildpad I know job centres can be hit and miss, but my job centre sorted my son's new claim and they were very good, you should have a tenancy agreement if you haven't contact your landlord they can provide you with one, I must admit I took everything from his birth certificate to my bills, hospital letters, tenancy agreement etc and they was great.

    I hope your walk helps you to relax.

    @Catherine21 @Elvisdog

    I find all this so hard. I feel overwhelmed by everything.. i got the tenancy agreement and I hope it will be ok. It should be ok. I find the world so hard to deal with. I can not cope with everything. I hope it will be ok. She did not ask as much as I thought . But it does not mean she will ask for more. I would love if it will be all sorted in one visit.

    @Catherine21 i know, it's terrible we have all been put in this situation. My eldest son still has to go through it too, im still dreading it. I just hope his money doesn't change. He is generous and hasn't really grasped the whole situation, he has mild learning difficulties on top of the Autism, he isn't good with money, a prime example of this is, if I give him money for say three items he struggles to work out if he has enough money, I have to break it down and walk him through the maths, he will still struggle in understanding. Without family support he just wouldn't cope or understand, the transitional transfer. There must be so many people who are in the same or worse situations it's just not made easy. I had hoped labour would change the transfer but they have only came out with even worse changes. A fight for us for sure.
