I also don't care for politicians, they are all liars and can't be trusted as I find with most neurotypicals these days.

As a neurotypical, I find your insight to my prolific lying and untrustworthyness astounding. I mostly go under the radar. 🙄

I need some help here from an advisor that knows this system.
I was awarded pip max both types for life four years ago.

I had a car accident through developing epilepsy while driving that was not previously diagnosed and suffered brain damage. partial paralysis on one side as a result, It was noted that while in hospital I had a heart problems. I have inflammation of the heart from rheumatoid arthritis and this has also caused joint pain and problems along with I don’t know what else as falling apart rapidly. Epilepsy is worse now than before.

Presently on 21 pills a day plus GTN spray as the angina is not controlled plus steroid inhalers on top of the other pills for epilepsy and the heart. Will probably be on full time oxygen at home as of tomorrow as struggling to breathe for the past few weeks and now UC want a phone interview tomorrow with no notice.

Good thing it is not at their office as no public transport here and a taxi is £65 one way to them.

I was Called in other week short notice to prove who I was while switching to UC. Now they want a phone interview tomorrow after CAB assured me this would not happen.

The DWP already have court official documents to show brain damage and that I have brains of a goldfish from years ago plus all scan results and medical reports plus prescription copies and much more.

Any ideas as I am not going to remember tomorrow after it happens.

I have all medical and court papers but they don’t leave me alone.

hi Rosie

my internet is very limited and slow. No phone lines here. I don’t have an online account as it was not set up that way. My problem, I do not understand the process. People see me and do not relate how bad my head injuries wete and still cause huge problems.

I do not believe that the UC people have a clue about my injuries as the DWP are not sharing my information.

Used to stand in the rain so that people could not see my tears of pain. It is not that I cannot be bothered, I do not understand and the next day I cannot remember. It like dementia, good thing my phone can type.

Problems is when you look ok people assume that you are. If they only knew.

I have my struggles like many disabled people and the pain keeps me alive.

I cannot be legally held responsible for what I say tomorrow and they know it so not sure why they are bothering.

I'm autistic as well as physically disabled. I don't understand you. If the stereotypical assumption that autistic people always have a special interest were true, I'd guess you're into exteme right-wing politics without the nous to realise the extent of the damage its "reforms" have the potential to cause.

For me, the NHS needs complete overhaul. If they charge health tourists .who use it for free and disappear again. Mental health, the waiting list is over a year, my daughter is on it. I waited 2 years. As healthy minds couldn't help due for it being ptsd.

How would you overhaul the NHS?

There are two obvious ways: higher income tax and higher NI contributions. The public are used to taxes going down.

The alternatives is to have a means-tested NHS rather like social care or not to give elective treatments free. The public wouldn't like those options either.

Could getting rid of the NHS in all but name and farming health care out to for-profit companies be a better way. I doubt it bu we might get it in an even more right-wing future.

Non-British residents are not necessarily treated for free on the NHS. In fact, major university research hospitals often gain both money and invaluable insight from non-British residents who need their expertise.

Ideas?
