i am 19 have cerebral palsy I am otherwise normal and have no capacity concerns in any other situations however when i applied for universal credit they said they need to speak to my appointee and that they cant speak to me [it felt like they we're treating me like a child ] I fully understand how finances work and i budget my money appropriately , and i am unsure why she was made my appointee

she is adamant i get a job despite my physical challenges and there is also a long history of neglecting my needs

any advice would be appreciated

Hi, I’m 19. I’ve just applied for Universal Credit on the advice of my social worker as I have cerebral palsy, tics, and severe chronic pain. I’ve been asked to have a phone call and a biographical appointment. What do I need to do to prepare.

what should I do if they ask me to attend an in-person appointment?

I can’t travel independently due to my conditions, and nobody is able to take me as I am in a situation where people cannot know I have applied, as it would put me in danger .

any help would be appreciated.
