Hi, Myself and my ex partner were together for almost 2 years. We lived together and met in lockdown so the relationship feels like it was a lot longer as we had the boundary of being long distance at the beginning and talked all day every day for months before meeting. This was my longest serious relationship and never…

Hi all! My referral has gone through for my ADHD Assessment (March this year) which is good but the organisation I have chosen can't say when I'll have an appointment for the assessment even with Right To Choose. I knew the waiting times would be long but I'm honestly getting a bit desperate, I've felt like this for so…

Are review decisions ever made solely on the paper work ( the review form and additional relevant evidence ) without a telephone call ? If so, in what instances ? Thank you

I just finished watching The Floor on ITV player. It's a gameshow and I'm obsessed! I'm tempted to apply for the next series. I'm looking for a new series to binge so let me know what you're enjoying!

So I had my phone call and sent in evidence, and now they wanted to book another phone call. I said I was busy, but he said it would be only a 7-10 minute phone call. Does this mean they want more? Or is it protocol that they do another call this short time before closing it? I'm just anxious; I never did a review with UC…

I then had a telephone call review of my claim appointment today and they read through a script of standard questions but nothing about my bank statements. They said everything ok and sent me a journal message of what was discussed and answers. Will…

Good evening Scope community, I would like to take out a life assurance policy for my profoundly disabled son? Does anyone have any experience of this or can recommend a provider. Thank you

I used to think I'd grow up, leave school and life would get better. I'd be rewarded for all the work I put in at school, that things would change and improve but I'm still the same guy I was back then. In fact my world is a lot smaller. Anyone else feel like they're not living their life or that they were made for more? I…

Hi everyone, Currently on a joint claim (Basic, LCWRA for me, Carers for partner) but I genuinely think my marriage is over. No housing element as house is mortgaged, no children. If I go to a single claim I believe my LCWRA is protected, but quite honestly I would rely on the £209 carers element to be able to afford…
