Esa
I was am in the middle of this and had a three way conversation with cab and ice. They agreed to identify me on phone. Tonight I receive test and at 2 pm tomorrow job center want me to verify me in person. I no longer drive, neighbor live abroad and no public transport here ยฃ65 for taxi one way to ha. I take strong medication and also have heart problems 21 pills a day. Just donโt know how since having a head injury years ago I was awarded pip higher rates for both.
I have no idea here or who to ask for help.
i live near remote

esa to uc. I am doing.
This is why I donโt post as hard to make people understand me.
I have not yet taken my go to sleep pills. My brain is awake because of this. Bet my BP is now unhealthy too0 -
Hi,
We do understand your post, but there are not many members online at 1am to respond.
It seems Job Centres are doing everything they can to force people to attend now. But if you really cannot attend then explain it to them and they should send someone for a home visit. That may delay your first payment, but if you don't have any way of getting to the JC, that might be the only option.

I went for the appointment.
Gave the paperwork to two people during my interview.
They were very apologetic after reading the medication list and consultant reports. Me thinks that they know if I made an official complaint knowing that they already have this evidence in their system it would cause them further problems.I reminded them of their regulation 19 that someone posted.
After a couple of minutesThe senior of the two UC people said that they would not bother me again and if needed it would not be via sms but postal communication.
They got me a taxi back home.
I am cross that UC went against the CAB three way call we had last week assuring myself and cab this does not happen.

Hi @jonf
It sounded like you had a very stressful day yesterday, i'm sorry that all happened to you. How are you feeling today?0 -
Hello Mary
I am fine thank you.
The new system transition does not consider people with or who have had a head injury and who do not have a family support network. I do not know how to say this clearly but the system needs tuning for people in my situation.Same goes I must tell the UC of my telephone number. My phone is an old blackberry and I do not wish to be forced to buy a new phone. When it dies it dies. So I would be off maybe for a month while I get a replacement phone.
I am ok the way that I live in my off grid home. It is stunning, it is clean, my gingers are happy. I am happy. The world can do what it wants for I donโt care as long as I outlast my animals. I have friends coming for Xmas which is not far away.I do use Scope for advice but I forget sometimes to say I have the brains now of a goldfish.

The weather is changing very quickly and it will soon be winter.

I wish someone would give your heating department a kick as they have now cancelled two appointments due to other commitments. As a result I have turned off my heating and hot water system.

Your home looks beautiful, and your animals are gorgeous ๐
I watched a lovely movie the other day and your cat reminded me of the cat in the film. The film was called Thomasina

My cat grew up at a petting Centre with so many dogs. He is such a character and happy to go with the postman in his van if allowed.

hi
Nothing in my in box.
received a message ref my scop appointment.
usual apologies and the was told compulsory teams meeting.
No mention of first appointment cancellation.Then also in email try your local council. Last time I asked they sent me ยฃ50
They donโt have the money. Anyone who is on oil knows you need a minimum of 500L. No chance here.
The weather was cold last night but at least the days are warm.
letโs hope that this winter is not too cold or I am in trouble as my home is very exposed to the elements.

Hi @jonf I owe you a huge apology. I had sent the message. However, I'd sent it to JohnF rather than jonf. I'm pleased to hear you've had some contact in the meantime. Did they give you a new appointment date and time?
On another note, I love your pictures. Is that from your home? If so, you are very lucky. What a beautiful view. And the cat standing is brilliant ๐
It's Holly by the way, I'd logged in here to check the message history and forgot to log back in as me before writing this.
