Time for a new thread ready for another week of waiting.
Hopefully lots of us get the results we're so desperately awaiting 🤞🏻❤

No she didn’t help, I said that I’m still waiting for someone to comment on my journal and whenever Trevor comments he makes it seem like he is short and annoyed and I don’t feel comfortable talking to him and that’s when she made that comment. It genuinely made me cry, I’m not going to bother contacting them again now. I’m just going to wait and see what happens. I can’t actually bring myself to speak to them again. It’s not like that I’ve never worked as I do work, things that happened last year made me claim UC and I wished I just struggled now. They made me feel so shit and low now and I just don’t care about the money any more, they can keep it for all I care x

Definitely just leave it Atleast for a few days. Sounds like you’ve been through enough, Nevermind with an autistic child, the DLA wait and now this. It’ll be over soon and then hopefully you can move on and move forward. Try and have a good weekend. You don’t deserve any of it, life and people can be so shit at times 😞

They will automatically do it and they should back date same day they send you the letter stating how much back pay they owe you, that's what they did with me ☺️

Thank you, I think they might do it tomorrow then because they didn’t sent the letters until gone 5 tonight

I’ve just got off the phone to UC after asking why hasn’t a manager contacted me after the man speaking to me rudely yesterday because my autistic son was having a meltdown in the back ground, I spoke to a woman and said that I don’t want him to be my case manager anymore considering I got out of domestic violence last year (I have the proof) and she said “it’s not like your going to meet him face to face is it” am I over reacting over that comment?

This is disgusting it shows have narrow minded people can be. It’s a pure reflection on them, not you. Please don’t feel defeated, keep going and I hope it gets sorted for you very soon x

I’ve found UC workers to be VERY horrible, I had a really bad experience about 2 years ago whilst at an appointment explaining my bad mental health and telling them my struggles (turns out now I am AuDHD) I was made to feel bad and like my children will just end up like me because of how I am, her exact words! She was Also bringing her personal problems onto me as if it was some how my fault(dentist
bills/mortgage payments) I left my appointment unable to listen to anymore crying and feeling worthless for her to message on my journal making out I walked out for no reason and she didn’t know why covering her back incase I did anything stupid! now my MH is on the mend I honestly still rage thinking about it! I wonder if I could still report this as it’s all still in my journal 😆

Murphy47 · 05/07/2024 10:37

They left a message in my journal about the back dated payment they owe me from February and said they will credit my bank asap, they said they are investigating the woman yesterday and assigned me a different case worker. I haven’t messaged them back or called them. I couldn’t care what they owe me anymore or when it will be paid. I don’t want to deal with them anymore. I will fill out my self employed wages every month like I have to but apart from that I don’t want to talk to them anymore. All the domestic violence happened while I was pregnant and I nearly gave my baby boy up because my mental health was so bad, I now have to live with the guilt of even of thinking I nearly gave my baby up because of an ex partner so my mental health still isn’t great. I feel shit every day and for someone to make a comment about it made me feel physically sick. I thought only dealing with women would help me mentally start to heal but now I know women are just as bad as well. Lesson learnt now. Don’t tell anyone anything about how much your mentally struggling x
