Update

my body managed to get a few more hours sleep which gives me a extra day to go exploring before the train home on saturday where my body understands how (ahhhh train horn grrrr) much this place is a haven for me and is trying to fight with getting control back from stress caused by external source and this is the part of my brain that has got me though college and up until this point it is also highly observened and when im out shopping it will go ooo i need that and i need that and then i go but why and the reaponse is your see later and then later comes something happens and the things i brought on auto pilot come in useful and my brain very proudly goes seee why i wanted to buy it and i tell my brain how much i love it because it understands that society isnt helping me so it needs to kick certain protective functions up a few gears to compensate and keep me safe

Hi Bexx.

Sorry you have had the evil universal credit experience. I suffered this the week before Christmas which basically put a big downer on everything.

I was lucky that I received great help from a lovely lady at our library when setting up my profile. I was told my ESA would stop and I would receive my universal credit at the end of January.

( this was because my wife had lost her job).

Well no money through Christmas then for us oh what joy.

Then when I was paid they deducted my ESA. WHAT ESA !!!!!! ?? I asked.

" oh we are going to keep you on ESA, you'll get it at the end of next month but it will be back dated"

Well it's ok back dating it but I hadn't had ESA for two months. Well this wasn't their problem they said.

Well it may not be their problem but it was one big ###king problem for me.

Maybe it's called universal credit because the people who thought of it are from another planet.

God's luck
