UC review next week
Hi there,
It‘a 3am because I can’t sleep worrying about my UC review. I understand that my claim may be stopped and I understand that I may owe them money. The hardest thing is that I am in the middle of buying my first home and this review could see the end of that.
I have been on a 5-year journey of being signed off sick with PTSD, ADHD, PMDD, chronic pain and tinnitus - it has been Hell! Which let Ive started to function again this last year and work again, I have been saving every penny that I have to move into a shared ownership scheme back near my family to finally live peacefully on my own so I can better manage my conditions.
Obviously stopping my UC and having to make payments back is understandable. I get it. But what I’m terrified of is losing the home that I desperately need to support my recovery. I can’t tolerate insomniac neighbours anymore every night that the council don’t do anything about. I can’t take living in a dirty flat anymore because I am the only one who cleans it. I need to be able to control my environment and sleep in order to stay well. I’ll fall apart now I’ve come this close.
Has anyone been in a similar position to me and if so, what happened? I’m really concerned about how this is gonna go as I’m already in the process of buying my first home near my family.
