Hello Peeps, Razr here (JH500, 15mph), FYI, the only part on the green power scooters that utilizes the 60v combined power source is the motor and motor controller, the rest of the electrics are standard 12v going through a step-down converter (60v in 12v out), so therefore if you want to pimp your ride you can use any car…

I've recently got very into watching Nothing To Declare. It's a factual TV show covering the airport customs department and border security in Australia. I cannot get enough of watching tourists explain why they have weird taxidermy animals or undeclared raw chicken in their suitcases. Brings me endless thrills 😂 What's…

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone can advise on this. I have been on PIP for a few years and my award is due for review in 2029. The main condition I have is physically and mentally draining but it is a fluctuating "visible" condition that varies in severity. Sometimes it is minimal but I will still be in some pain…

Asking for a friend Hi everyone I am looking for some advice as I previously had Enhanced Daily Living and Enhanced Mobility and recently completed my PIP AR1 review and had a telephone assessment with Capita after the assessment I requested a copy of the PA4 report and was shocked to see the assessor has recommended 0…

As per the title, I often struggle with these three things and looking for advice on whether this is likely to be related to ADHD/ASD? So according to my GP, back in 2005 when I was 12/13 I was given an Aspergers diagnosis. I'm not sure this is correct as I can't recall ever being given a formal diagnosis and reading…

Hi 👋 I’m new, mostly bed bound due to chronic pain condition, no friends anymore as if you cancel a lot they stop inviting you! I get it. Looking to better understand the world of needing benefits to cope financially, it so confusing & hopefully make some friends on the way. Uc royally messing with payments then refuse to…

As I reflect on my disability identity, I think about my disability origin story. Why is it that I find it so difficult to accept my disability, to not view it as ugly? The answer could lie deep-rooted in history. How we have treated disabled people. How those attitudes are still relevant today. Disabled people have…

Hello all I wonder if someone could help me please. My partner has recived my Pip letter today ( he is my appointee and acting on my behalf). It says We understand that you may still need Pip if your circumstances are the same or are worse. We want to help continue to claim if you you need to. If you still need help with…

Hi, A friend I know who has autism has to attend court. They really hate wearing ties as they find anything tight or heavy around their neck hard to cope with. They find it hard to understand the importance of looking smart, which they really need to do so.. Resistant as well to getting an haircut, or a suit etc. Any ideas…

Hi, hope everyone is doing well!! I am in a couple and I work full time whilst my partner works self employed and receives carers allowance for our son who gets DLA. This month we have been declined childcare for our son as they said the cost is excessive and my partner should care for him as he is his carer. We also have…

I had a phone call last week thinking it was a review but it wasn’t, apparently someone has rang uc anonymously and said I have a cash in hand cleaning job which is absolutely bull as I am severely disabled, then I had a message in my uc journal with 55 account numbers with the last 4 digits saying they were mine and I…

My dad was tidying some TV cables and asked me for suggestions on how to go about it. I suggested a cable tie, as he has lots and lots of them and uses them all the time. Then I realised it's one of those things that people have millions of uses for but never its intended (namesake) purpose! Another example is paperclips.…
