I put up a strong front on here. But on thurs my disability support was cut completely because of some irrational DWP policy even while i am in the system waiting for the to get round to assessing me. Leaving me with less than 1/3rd of my already low income to live on.
...
I’ve been on all the help lines. I’ve spoken with all the support charities. And there is nothing anyone can do. There’s no way to appeal. There’s no way to get it looked at. I’m expected to live in a limbo that has no time or date to count down towards; no way to hurry it up...
I feel like I’m drowning. My body feels crushed. I feel broken. I have no energy. No fight left in me. The constant treadmill of dealing with the system has worn me down to nub. Benefits aren’t an easy life. The system has been designed to dehumanise, to create ordeal, ...
... to crush you, even punish you for daring to need the support of the state to live.

I’m done. I’m one rung away from drowning completely and I’m struggling to hang on.
