I haven't thought about what to type but I just want to put it out there that there are really vulnerable people affected by this gravely and disproportionatly. My daughter is very happy we have had it unbearably hard and delt with many unlucky circumstances to finally find happiness, her school that she is enrolled to join is just 'there', my university is also 'right there', my friends and family whom I depend upon are within reach BUT now due to this government we are being kicked right out in the name of the new LHA rates. The choice to go elsewhere is there however the choice to go elsewhere also has a lower than average rate which is unrealistic and rediculous, there will nolonger be anywhere to rent whilst youre on housing benefit.
It is my biggest ambition and dream to be a GP, at the moment the qualifications I have will just about get me a job in retail which cannot look after my daughter and I. I have nothing which is why I depend on college and university to give me a working life.
Am I a bad person for being single, low earner on benefits?
Should I feel disgusted in myself that my ex walked out when I was pregnant?
Does the word welfare mean you're less of a person.
I live in Camden, North London and for anyone who is nearby I would love to hear from you IF you are also affected. Also for those who dont quite understand the impact OR those who are viciously ignorant to the genuine people in need, this link is a written message to Parliamant by Camden council. Id really appreciate if you read. Maybe then all will understand why I and others have been holding our little ones tight and crying wondering what is going to happen to our little roof over our heads.

Is there anyone out there with an answer? If not, thank you for reading.
a desperately scared single mum :(
