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.

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 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…

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…

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…

Hi im Seeking for sight impaired people on here? Anyone

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…

Sorry to bother you, and I don't want anyone to panic here, because I'm not suicidal as I post this but I have overdosed twice in a week. I was moved into independent living almost 2 years ago. I was sectioned last year and all they did was check that I could make a meal. I could, because someone took me to the shop and…

I'm looking for companies in the SE that will give advice on which powered wheelchairs to try, bearing in mind my living conditions, seating needs and intended use. So far I've found Recare and Gerald Simonds, does anyone know of any other companies?

The housing executive did a homeless assessment but said I did not have priority need. I am fighting this decision though the Housing Rights organisation and am hopeful for a…

Hi I've been told to move out by my parents, and I'm on enhanced PIP for both parts. Will my PIP award be reviewed, or re-assessed, with new application/evidence etc, when I move out?

hi all, Halifax are switching completely to Lloyd’s but the bank account details such as account number and sort code will stay the same. because that info is staying the same, do I not need to let the DWP know that my bank has changed name from Halifax to Lloyd’s, please? I can’t remember if I had to tell them the bank…
