Hello.
I have a WCA in the next two weeks. I do not have any family which could come with me as I live on my own nor have I seen my family and parents for many years. I don't really have any close friends which could attend with me, and I don't want to attend by myself. Is there any advocates or charities which help with this sort of thing? This is my very first ever WCA. I filled in the uc50 form exclusively for mental health reasons.
Any help or assistance and advice would is welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Hi and welcome, I would have to say that with only two weeks to go its unlikely. Is there a reason you feel you need someone with you because unless they are an appointee they won't be able to do much except sit there. You mention mental health reasons do you have any support?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I don't have any support in place, I just have strong medications.
Looks like I'll be going solo and more than likely failling.
Thank you for your help and input. -
You could try telephoning them and asking for a home visit, if they agreed (and it may be too late) you would need a letter from your GP to support your request. Might be worth a try tomorrow.
Good luck2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
