Hello

I don’t understand why vulnerable/disabled people are always the ones who have to suffer more.. ain’t they going thru enough already?? I am in receipt of UC and I am also disabled. I suffer with Fibromyalgia along with the mental health problems that comes along with the condition. I have widespread pain everyday and can just about walk, so I use a elbow crutch. I still have to look for work even though I hand in sick notes and I have asked to be reassessed as I cannot go to work like this, in pain! Still awaiting. I just wish DWP were more fair and understanding and have some empathy. Put people in the right category and stop expecting the ones to do things they simply cannot do!! Pray the system changes for the BETTER. Cos right now it’s messed up and does not treat people fairly, disabled people especially. Take care all.

    Hi @Sw33tTiNg03 and welcome to the community.

    I completely understand your frustration. I'm currently waiting for my PIP review and it's so stressful! I wish the system was better too and that it didn't cause so much worry. There are lots of people here who will be able to empathise with you.
