    Hi @Ronyag and welcome to the community. I am deeply sorry to hear you are in such difficulties. I think the best suggestion I can make at the moment would be for you to telephone our free helpline on 0808 800 3333.

    Hi @Ronyag, and welcome. So sorry to hear about your current situation- as Richard says, it may be worth giving the Scope helpline a call. 

    You mention losing your DLA, have you considered appealing the decision? If so, we have some great resources to help you begin the appeals process and would be happy to offer some guidance? 

    It sounds like your anxiety is really debilitating at the moment. If you feel like you need support or you want to talk to somebody about this, here are some mental health helplines who may be able to help you in that area.

    Please do keep us updated and we'll help and support wherever we can.
