    @poppy123456 and @chiarieds
    I intend to see them this weekend. I've been thinking, know she gets PIP and he gets carers for her. They were living in a caravan before they came here, so presume you dont need a street address to claim?
    They arrived here with literally nothing 18 months ago after he lost his job. I know it took them a while to sort out their benefits coz they were penniless. They borrowed a bit from a guy at church, and were regulars at the food bank I go to. Shes quite I'll with this epilepsy. I think they're ok, just down on their luck.

    There is no way on this earth that I would let anyone use my address?
    Anyway hope you get it sorted cos I can't say anything more on this subject.

    Shes only getting medical (docs and hospital appts) sent here. Waiting for a hospital appointment one now. I think they're ok.

    Hi @Franstrahan. I'm sorry this has caused so much stress. Do you have much longer to wait until the appointment?

    The reason it's a problem is I have the WCA on 6th then this on the 10th. My mh is not great at the moment, counsellor said last time we spoke my anxiety levels were high then, before this lot happened.
    So not great timing for these things. I've asked my job coach to make the guy doing the interview aware. I'm not good anyway at f2f things.

    I know I'd really struggle having the two so close together (or at all) and I'm sorry that's what you're facing @Franstrahan. Hopefully having the weekend to recover from the WCA before the compliance meeting will help ease the pressure a little but I can imagine you're going to be thinking about both of them until it's done.
    We'll all be thinking of you so please let us know how you get on at both.

    Thanks, yes it is a struggle because of my health. Things have been mounting up for years now but since 2016-17 it's been hard and my mh is deteriorating. It's just been one thing after another going wrong now and it's made me ill.

    Thank you. It's the WCA tomorrow and the UC interview Tuesday. But need plenty of luck for both probably. Thanks Adrian. Not looking forward to either of these.

    Thank you. I was hoping it would be one down, one to go. But it's still two.
