    I had to downsize, I use to care for my mum and when she died , 2 months later the housing association wanted myself and my daughter to move. Took 12 months bidding, living around boxes. They were heartless. Plus I had no money thanks to the dwp. I went from having carers, which stopped when mum died. Signed to.esa . Had wca assessment. Got p45 before my letter to say I was fit for work. Living on child benefit for 2 months. Food banks until I managed to get a part time job.

    Appealed esa as going through anxiety, depression.

    Since being diagnosed for autism, got joint hypermobility syndrome, scars on lungs due to covid. Fatigue, Copd due to 5 years cleaning. Had to give up work last year. Not sure what I could do if we had to work. Got a upper tract infection on antibiotics again

    That's ok, miss her everyday, also lost a brother and sister after. I agree with you that this worry since last year , not good for my health. Try and write to Timms, the more people that do with concern about esa and pip they may push the date back.i think with pip they looking at the green paper. We need to stand together.

    Yes I know ,how you feel . I have a 25 year old daughter she lives with me. She's more level headed than me and I'm her mum lol . I also have 3 cats who depend on me

    They should help disabled people not treat them like nothing. Also this removal of winter fuel allowance will effect my sister and brother in law, they both have health conditions especially my sister. A nd I hope they be able to get pension credit, they scrimp on things. Labour used to care .I
