Hey you have every right to moan okay.hell the hell can people expect you to live off the amount its a complete joke.
Keep up the fight with them.cant you challenge it?good luck with d.l:a as well.x
thanks hun xxx soft hugs
Rant all you like it helps to get it off your chest. It is terrible if you have to live entirely on soup and sandwiches - hope it is sorted for you soon xgins
God luv you Ziiggy £9 is an utter outrage. If you were an immigrant you'd be well looked after. It maddens me so much. Why are we the British public letting the government treat us like this. It cant go on.
Re: DLA it usually takesbin & around 13 weeks for a decision.
Good luck & if I were you I'd appeal ESA.
Luv & Hugs

Just wanted to comment that the weight gain could well be down to the medication that you are taking. I take Lyrica - pregabalin for one of my medications and reduced the dosage because of the weight gain. Diet is also crucial but its not so easy to eat fruit and veg when you have so little to live on. Hopefully the £9.00 is just a glitch and they will sort that out soon. I got a payment of £10.00 instead of £71.00 and was told that it was an initial payment to 'balance things out first' though balance what I never understood I am about to go check and see if they have paid the rest in now. Very good luck with yours getting sorted and sooner than later. I submitted a DLA application weeks ago and haven't even heard if they have received it. Fingers Crossed. Mr. Scamp.
Hi Ziggy. I really feel for you on this. the government has no idea how people are (barely) living because of their stupid ideas. At the mo, Im living on the goodwill of my family and money Id saved for my water bill, which is due any day. Theres no way it'll get paid now.Ive had no benefit for 5 weeks. I live alone now, so its only me and my lil dog to feed. Eating soup and sandwiches is hardly a balanced diet, is it? (thats not a critisism, its a poke at the government)That doesnt help your health probs.How the hell are you supposed to function? It really makes me sick when I hear that people like you (and me) have to go to these lengths just to survive, when the greedy b****rds in the government are spending 1000s on social banquets for their own amusement. I cant believe Human Rights have let this blatant cruelty go on for so long. Perhaps we should all gatecrash their cosy little banquets. If we lived closer to one another, Id share my last crust of bread with you. I really hope you get sorted very soon. lotsa love.xx
Hi all I know buying fruit and veg can be costly you could try a small green gosers stall at the end of the day you may be able to buy some cheap its just a thought
im still waiting for esa to sort out as i have to wait for astos to get of their backsides... in july we took in a boarder thinking that would help but thgis person hasnt paid us either and ous us just under £600 so shoot me ......
also just sold 3/4 of my books to amazon to get things i need
hey ziggy,
sorry to hear you are going through a tough time, £9 isn't much is it don't know how they have the cheek, the DLA sounds promising though x keep your chin up lovely xx
Hiya ziggy
I applied for DLA beginning June and got decision last week it took longer than 11 wks they say at least 13 weeks. Ive asked for reconsideration because they still awarded me LR Care and no mobility, will wait and see. I to have gained lots of weight over last 6 months, Ive been told its mixture of tablets, stress, ohhh and of course my age!!!!, I'm going through the dreaded Menopause on top of everything else, us ladies have such an easy life, I wish. xx
