I know how that feels the ESA won’t pay me anything because I don’t have enough National insurance contributions and because my husband had a private pension they say I have a income but I don’t so at the moment we have no money and with Christmas coming up I don’t know quite what we are going to do we have nearly used all our food up and I have heart failure as well I hope you get your’s sorted soon good luck.

I got esa for a month, then they stopped it.I scored

no points at interview, I was disappointed,I am left

in limbo no income and not sure what the future

holds, claimed a small pension early, but thats it

till I reach retirement age.I could try claim jsa but

I dont feel well enough to do full time work, so things

are bleak.

Have you been to see anyone bout it

[Qualipop in reply to Hometerry]

Have a look at the website Benefits and Work for advice on how to appeal. Trust me it's worth it

Know what you're going through Wodney. I have been refused any assistance from anywhere. I have cashed in a couple of small pensions to give me some cash now to help out, and keep paying the bills.

STRESS WHAT STRESS

My income has dropped from 1300 per month to under 600 ( would be under 400 but i receive a small pension) but the bills are still there, in fact some (heating / electricity) are higher because obviously being at home, less mobile then the heating is turned up. Rent and Council Tax takes 400 of that 600.

STRESS WHAT STRESS.

Not allowed to drive but still got to pay car bills paid, shopping by taxi - result 4pts milk = 5.20.

STRESS WHAT STRESS

DWP stopped my payments because I failed my latest work capability assessment. I was lucky because a local charity helped me with the appeal. That said, I went eight weeks living on donations from a food bank. The food kept me going, but wasn’t exactly healthy. My stents were fitted last March, all the Stress from dealing with the DWP, made me quite ill. I suffer from long term depression and anxiety. I also have Asbergers, and osteoporosis. Words can’t describe how I felt. Luckily I won my appeal. I can’t imagine how you are feeling. I wonder how many people who go through this sort of thing, still vote Conservative afterwards? Don’t be under any illusions, Universal Credit is designed to make life as difficult as possible for those that are forced to claim it. It was Ian Duncan Smiths, way of destroying the welfare system. You have my very best wishes for the future. Good luck.
