Worked several jobs, including in a nursing home. Got thyroid cancer and the treatment caused me to have a stroke and many other health issues. Thanks to the stroke I'm now partially sighted, can't walk properly and can no longer work. Also have chronic foot infections and migraines. NHS treatment is so awful it has made my health worse rather than better. My local pharmacist tells me I'm a drain on the NHS because my medications cost so much. Got awarded disability benefits until 2028, but still waiting for the backpay and payments to start. Absolutely penniless and in debt.

  • Older generations were brought up with the idea that it's shameful to receive help, but we need to do away with that idea, especially as wealth gets more and more concentrated in the hands of a few and there's less for the rest of us.

  • Over half of DWP disability assessors quit in a year over feeling ‘despised’

    Jump

  • Considering how the assessors go out of their way to deny people, I can't imagine how they'd start wanting to help people. For instance when explaining my vision loss to an assessor and how it makes it difficult for me to do things like cross the road safely, she said that I could just walk around constantly rotating my head in a circle to get a full range of vision, so the vision loss is no excuse for needing extra help. She also wrote on my form that I can see perfectly with glasses. After I had clearly explained to her that glasses do not restore missing vision. They are all just evil liars and frauds.

    Jump

  • It doesn't surprise me, since becoming disabled I've learnt just how utterly despised we are, people genuinely believe we're just lazily living off other peoples' money while having a great time, and they resent having to get up and go to work each day to pay for us.
