Comment on Liverpool parade crash victim refused PIP despite life-changing injuries
wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoCompletely understandable and, I want to point out: an impressive amount of self-awareness & humility in that adjustment, fellow stranger. That’s genuinely appreciated in this current era. 🖖🏼
As for myself, I’ve been on a different end of the “benefits” system with a lifelong-yet-barely-visible disability —but without any crime nor addiction along the way, I don’t fit the gen-pop agit-prop decoy of “disabled” tropes.
Thank you for hearing me, and I’m glad you’re here, fellow human. 🙏🏽🤘🏼

No worries mate. Yeah I understand that things are even harder in our punitive benefits system - and across much of society - for ppl with ‘invisible’ disabilities. As a taxpayer, albeit lowest level, I’m fuckin infuriated that more of my contribution isn’t spent on helping the people who need help. The disabled, the elderly, the NHS. Any society that doesn’t make looking after its vulnerable members priority number one has taken a wrong turn. At least IMO.
Anyway, sorry if I offended you and best of luck in navigating the system to get the support you need. I’m just sorry it can be such a nightmare for people in your position. It really shouldn’t be. If you’re having issues with the system, there are organisations that can help. I hope you won’t hesitate to reach out to them if you have trouble. Take care eh

Thanks, fellow poor. It’s rough out here, but at least I’m not living in the car anymore (so far), and the way forward is mostly about avoiding the dragnet of “abnormal” people into camps, instead of that plus the constant risk of bacon takin’ my possessions & shooting my ESA. 😶🌫️ Small victories. 🤞🏼
