But this is good, it's an extra £1.75Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
I wonder where they get their figures from. I don't think they could manage to live on it.
But let's face it you are not expected to function are you so you stay in bed all day. I was yesterday so you eat less?

I don't get it
Why is the minimum wage less than the living wage ?
Why are the benefits that we get, that we are supposed to live on, even though the government admit that being disabled carries extra costs, less than both ?
I don't engage in political c*** I don't have the energy

I don't understand this either. They must decide somehow.
But having just lost pip care plus the premium they decided my condition isn't severe and I don't have these extra expenses.
Not complaining against dwp, I did the self test and scored 6. And weirdly it came at the best time to hit the heating button off and send friend out to get throws. Actually these are lovely and cosy.Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -

You all have made me actually laugh, thank you.
the first post I read was CockneyRebel said: -
I had a brown letter this morning. I ripped it open as I walked back up the hallway. I had my f2f assessment on 7th March for pip so am awaiting a decision. The letter easy thin so wasn't hopeful. It was a 'we have recieved all your information to make a decision' letter. This is the same letter they have now sent me THREE times since my assessment oN the 7th march.
What are these people trying to do to me. That's my day ruined as my anxiety is sky high. -
I Know the feeling, the wait is awful. Just wish I had the decision, In no mans land at present.When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

I waited a month and then called for a copy of the assessment.
Whilst on the phone I got told the decision had been made.
That was back in February. DLA swiped March off me and gave me the reduced award.
Disgusting!
Its meant to pay a month after the decision, the award hadn't even started when they did that!!Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -
I still haven't had a decision from my assesment 5 weeks ago. Iv gone from not wanting a brown letter to now really needing it. Can I ask someone to ring the dwp for me? I cannot phone those people. No way. But I'm at a point now where I need information and to request the assessors report. Will they accept someone else ringing on my behalf?
