    Hi cazza62
    Sorry to hear about your problems.  Maybe you could give UC a call and explain that you are only on SS. By law your employer needs to put "reasonable adjustments" in place to help you. I think you should tell them that.
    Good luck

    Hi,

    SS? do you mean SSP? Do you live with a partner that works?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi Cassa 
    Sorry to here you are struggling I think a lot of people are like this before they are assessed for PIP etc, my advice would be to contact Money Matters or CAB both specialise in benefits and can sight post you in the right direction, they will make calls or write letters where appropriate hope this was of some help good luck
