    I have had everything taken away from me, PIP and DWP have told me many times that they are not concerned with my disabilities, and that I should go back to work.

    You are being quite cryptic, @sben, can you not be more specific as to what help or advice you are looking for?

    I'm not criticising, but the posts about not using capital letters was some 11 days ago, & I don't believe members said they were 'offended,' rather some found such text difficult to read.

    I do too, but have never commented about it before as we all have so many different disabilities. When they're lengthy, which wasn't the case here, I definitely struggle & it does take me longer to read. It's the same when you can get a lengthy post with little or no punctuation. Some of us find these difficult to read too & such posts I personally often need to read through at least 2 or 3 times.

    For some fatigue due to their disorders can cause difficulty reading such texts, but there can be many & multiple reasons why a member might struggle.

    There was absolutely no reason for your comment not to be posted, & I'm totally with you, I hope, in making allowances for our members. @sben is facing difficulties in that his epilepsy hasn't been understood, & several of us have tried to help him previously about PIP:

    Please don't think we don't care - we do. I hope @sben will try to find an advocate to help as those linked to above are freely available: https://www.nhs.uk/social-care-and-support/help-from-social-services-and-charities/someone-to-speak-up-for-you-advocate/

    I have epilepsy, in which I always have seizures. I also have a gait disorder, in which this affects my mobilities.

    The government, dwp, and pip does not believe how my health and disabilities affects me and my safety. Because of this, I have had pip taken away from me.

    Also, the job centre wants me to go back into work, as they are not concerned about my health and disabilities.

    Have the job centre told you they are not concerned about tour health? That doesn't sound acceptable.
