Has anyone else been awarded enhanced daily living and mobility then found that Universal Credit have decided you have to work? Im deaf with speech. Suffer depression.. Anxiety and agoraphobia... Have limited mobility and am in constant pain. PIP just highered my mobilty to enhanced... Im entitled to a carer... Blue badge etc. Universal credit have now taken me off the support group and put me into the back to work. Theyve taken nearly £400 off my benefit yet when my daughter asked if i could take a carer to work (sarcastically they said no I should be in the support group! Am having to appeal. Anyone else having problems?

Makes you wonder what goes on in their heads
Thankyou.. I will! Congrats on your win x
Thankyou... I hope so!
I know! Unbelievable systom... 😔
They did that for 4 months then changed it to work group. I was on ESA support group but had to change to UC who decided 4 months 'grace' was long enough! Started the appeal now which had to be done by phone. . Being deaf with speech thats ridiculous enough .. My daughter had to do it on my behalf!
