I thought potential employers were not allowed to discriminate yet every time I ask a potential employer about pt hours so that I can manage my chronic pain and fatigue they suddenly find a reason to take my application any further. The government want us working and I want and financially need to work as the debts are…

Hi, guys. Can anybody help? … I just tried to donate a wheelchair to a care home but was told they cannot accept it because the footrests are missing (inexpicably removed by someone). It was bought for my wife's mother about 10 years ago but was never used, although it may have been second-hand when purchased. Other than…

I've never had much confidence in The Samaritans but I've felt so anxious and distressed here alone today that I thought I'd give them a go. The volunteer did not introduce herself. In the brief time I tried to communicate all she could say was "wow" and "gosh". I feel worse for phoning them.

My youngest is off to the library today and I realised I can't remember the last time I went. When did you last go to the library and do you go regularly?

Cerebral Palsy and Autism: Coexistence. Bridging the gap between two seemingly disparate neurological conditions, researchers unravel the enigmatic dance of autism and cerebral palsy within the human brain. These two conditions, while distinct in their primary characteristics, often intersect in ways that challenge our…

My understanding is that the recruitment process is based on Strenght, Behaviour and Experience, they also said the interview will be based on communicating and influencing behaviour. My question is prepare myself around this behaviour only? As there is 9 behaviour in total (understand different jobs different behaviours)…

Is the transition from DLA to PIP still suspended? My DLA is indefinite and was told I’d have do move to PIP, but I’m now 37 and still not been asked and I was born in 1989, so way after 1948. Seems like everyone has been moved over besides a very select few.

hi I am thinking of applying for welfare deputyship for my 15 year old non verbal child who has learning disabilities. So I can make decisions for him in regards to care etc once he’s an adult.

AI has quickly become a tool that supports us in many areas of life. But it's important to remember that the information it provides isn't always accurate. With the changes to Universal Credit, for example, information may be outdated, or intended for residents of a different part of the UK. So if you use AI to answer…

I got my UC on 24th March, my next payment is 10th April. Does that sound correct? I have heard people say its not exactly every two weeks like esa was. But mine has been since I migrated to uc last September. Thoughts please.

Hello all, Tomorrow my GP will be calling me about my request to be referred for ADHD and Autism assessments. I submitted the forms to my GP before Christmas last year so it's taken a long time just to get to this point, (I don't know if that's normal but I know my GP practice is dangerously oversubscribed).

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate. And also to all those who just use it as an excuse to eat lots of chocolate! 😁 Hope you're all having a peaceful weekend so far. Anyone got any nice plans for the weekend? Have you got yourself an egg? I've treated myself to a little chocolate bunny, but that's it for me this year!

hello I recently had a claim review because I added another child for child benefits which I didn’t add to my uc journal so I think this is what initiated it all. They then asked me to upload my tenancy agreement which again I hadn’t reported the change in my rent (which had changed a few months prior). I am sharing a two…
