What now? What are my chances challenging it?
I am very moody peri menopausal AuADHD woman
my email:

On 17 June 2026, my Crisis and Resilience Fund application was refused on the basis that my rent was being paid in full. - but I am affected by benefit cap
I sought help from Citizen Advice. I subsequently attended an appointment in person on 29 June 2026 and provided additional Universal Credit statements.
16 July 2026 – someone very confused wrote to me asking what my UC statements were about. I explained that I submitted them during my appointment on 29 June in relation to my DHP application
I then received a reply stating only that my email had been forwarded to the relevant department.
However, after I followed up again on 28 July 2026, I was simply sent copies of the original refusal letters. I have still not received a decision on my review or an explanation of whether the additional evidence was considered.

On the 10th of July I was given not fit for work for 3 months from my GP, which I forwarded to the council. I am also waiting for DRO approval. (as I used credit cards to cover the shortfall).
(yes, i keep applying for jobs, no luck there)
