Hi, I have had three UC claim reviews in three years. I don’t know if it’s normal or I might be on their “special list”. At the last review, they asked me to send a tenancy agreement but I didn’t have as I have periodic tenancy. I sent everything I could think of to prove my rent but they demanded a letter from my landlord…

My names is Bianca. Im single and newly disabled and still getting used to it. I have my good days and down days and I'm just looking for people who i can connect with so i don't feel so lonely.

I think everyone could do with a friend who cheers them on then and again for positivity. What about when no one's around though? How do we support ourselves? I wonder how to manifests posivity within oneself.

Hi everyone, I’m having an incredibly stressful time with the Motability Foundation regarding a grant, and I’m wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation, being pushed toward a car that just isn’t suitable? I’m truly grateful to have been awarded a grant, but the foundation is insisting that certain vehicles…

Hi sorry I might sound a bit wierd but my benefit portal has been updated for my next payment which is due on 17 august. I had phone assessment on 10 august and dwp recieved the report on 11 august which i requested them to send. My question is did they by any chance made the decision or not terminated my award? This is my…

Hey, To provide some context I was awarded Enhanced ADP Mobility but it should have been backdated to Dec 2024 rather than July 2025 as they have done. I received the response from Social Security Scotland and they have agreed with my appeal, however, this looks like it still needs referred to a tribunal as per the…

Hello everyone, I’m Presten. I work in property management, mainly dealing with tenants, landlords and maintenance. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

I have been charged 61p VAT on my latest gas bill. The standing charge alone is more than four times what I'll pay for my fuel use! We used to pay zero standing charges.. Removing an already very low VAT from energy bills will not help consumers like myself, only those who can afford to use plenty all year round! Am I…

Hi everyone, I just got my PIP MR rejection this week. I was pretty gutted because I mistakenly thought someone might look more closely at my evidence at the MR stage and it went right up to the 15 week mark. It's been 7 months since I first applied. I got zero points everywhere with my initial decision and big fat zeros…

Hi I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this please..... I've had my pip phone assessment, during the call the assessor seemed nice and patient but as we were going through the questionnaire I'd sent in she would say you've ticked no to this but I'm going to ask you again as I think I know the answer - a few time…

Hello there! I went abroad for a week in June to visit my now long distance partner. it went extremely well and i'll be flying over again at the end of next month for 3 weeks to stay with them and their family. The travel went surprisingly well- and while I was a little bit anxious I managed to get through the airport…

Hi I just wanted to tell that I had my phone assessment today. It was a 2 hour long call. The lady on the other side was very nice. It is my first pip review after 3 years. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia in last 2 years as well. Before I was granted for Psoriatic arthritis. I got so mentally drained after the…

Hi All I have Primary Progressive MS and have been on UC for a long time. Just last month they said they were doing a review and made a telephone appointment. I spoke to the gentleman from a call Centre who asked a my personal security info then he said okay we need four months banks statements by 10th of July. That was…

I was being investigated for an issue for my bowel which has been going on for 6 weeks.it now seems from a phone call from my gp about something totally irrelevant that they've lost the follow up stool sample from weeks ago.Ive been waiting 3 years for therapy and have had to chase the trust myself by emailing drs.I have…

It really frustrates me when I am out and about in the community and there not being enough dropped curbs. Also when there is a dropped curb someone is parked on it with their car. People have no consideration for people in wheelchairs. If people did care then they would choose to park somewhere else. I think the…

The aim of the game is to think of a Celebrity who's first name begins with the first letter of the previous celebrity's surname. For example, Adam Sandler. The next person would think of a celebrity beginning with S such as Simon Cowell, and so on… So if we were to begin with Simon Cowell, the next celebrity name needs to…

Hi im Seeking for sight impaired people on here? Anyone

What animal am I thinking of? I'm thinking of an animal, you have 20 questions between you all to guess what it is. Questions can only be yes/no type questions. Good luck!

I have been on the lower rate of pip for a good few years. My health has deteriorated so can i ask for a review and what will they ask of me

Does anyone have any experience? Can anyone recommend some good ones? I've managed to drastically cut my alcohol for over 3 months now but sometimes I kind of miss the taste of beer (not the effects) and was looking at the alcohol free beers in the supermarket and wondered whether it's worth a try? I'm aware that by law…

Hi all I called the DWP today for an update on a new pip claim. The guy told me a decision had been made yesterday, he couldn't tell me what, but a letter has gone out in the post. I assume based on this, I haven't been awarded as most people get a text message, and when they call the DWP, get an automated message with…
