Hopefully this will lead to a rethink with regards to UC and the loss of the disability premiums. I lost the edp & sdp when I had to claim UC. They should just include the premiums with it.
I read the story of Erroll Graham and it made me so sad. It's a shame he didn't have anyone looking out for him. Just a call or a text to someone to let them know you are thinking of them is so important.
