Comment on Major changes to most benefits systems from next year confirmed by DWP
Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 1 year agoI went through PIP twice, denied, appealed and won the first time. Second time I was denied I just couldn’t do it again. I’m also, lucky in that I have a supportive partner otherwise I don’t know. Currently rocking a part time job as enforced physio and some pocket money, but there’s no pride in that.
What’s worse, if you’re denied PIP you can’t apply again for the same condition so I’m SOL now. If it hits the fan I don’t know what I’d do, an increase in hours at my current job to support myself would be such a decrease in QOL I don’t think it would be worth it, that’s assuming I could do it at all.
I’m currently retraining but I don’t know how I can sell a recliner as a reasonable accomdation for full time work. Mostly I’m just broken… kinda just unloaded there, sorry.

It’s okay, I feel your pain, and I really sympathise. I know exactly how overwhelming and soul destroying all this shit is. I created a community on feddit.uk called !disability, and you’re welcome to post as many rants as you like there as you like. It’s really quiet at the moment but the option is there if you want it, and I’m currently stuck in hospital with nothing much to do besides reading and commenting on the internet :p
