Alison Cameron 💙💛

I was delighted to have been asked to write about my experience of VERY late diagnosis with ADHD. It is my first writing project in ages and I look forward to doing more. Thank you @DopaminePlsMe for inviting me to write it. #ADHD adhdhelp.app/en/blog/half%E…

The Government wants most people to die before they can receive their Pension. It's an easy money grab. I got my N.I card at 16 and was told I'd work till I was 60. Others were told the same thing. They raiding the pension pots of dead people. Us because we won't get it.

Still waiting an hour in for my turn to speak on the after care. It is not helping my anxiety. I might have to give up on this Zoom.

Mikita Losik, the brother of my dear friend and political prisoner Ihar Losik, has been safely evacuated from Belarus. I'm so happy to see him free from the regime’s repression – and I can’t wait for the day we see Ihar free too. Freedom to all political prisoners in Belarus!

I’ve been advised to take my case against the DWP to the Independent Case Examiner if there is still no resolution. I had not heard of this. I note it looks at redress for maladministration. Does anyone here have experience of this route?

Can someone show me where you go to self-declare yourself as #disabled and then be given #DisabilityBenefits , no questions asked? Because I keep having to go through a terrible system designed to stop you getting anything at all, even if you are claiming correctly.

Chat with GP. I am going to be on diazepam for a couple of weeks. This is DWP-related. I would not need it otherwise.

Much needed pigeon therapy in progress.

Having to go to the jobcentre makes my anxiety worse. I have an appointment on Friday and I'm already shaking

Forgot to eat again. The DWP diet is effective but not very healthy,

If you have to go after the most vulnerable in society to make things "work"... Your society has failed.

Cabinet minister whose household income is around £700,000 per year and who lives in a £3.9 million property tells the low paid ‘you aren’t saving enough’ - presumably she includes workers on PIP, the Birmingham workers and families with more than two children in that?

During Zoom DWP called - ‘It’s Universal Credit here. Are you ok?’‘no I am not ok. With all that I’ve had to deal with from the DWP I am NOT ok. I can’t talk now as I am in group therapy on Zoom.’ I rang off. The therapist said I went white. It was apparently a ‘welfare call.

Are you enjoying your new grass little man.

I feel isolated in the aftercare Zoom. They are talking about their chocolate addiction. When it’s my turn, it will be food banks & extreme anxiety.

I put a message on my Universal Credit journal advising them that I can NOT attend the ‘work commitments’ meeting next week. I also told them I have the copy of the WCA form from Feb so could they tell me why they sent me another ‘envelope of doom’ in the post this morning? #DWP

Hooray for hyper focus. I found a copy of the WCA form the DWP received back in February. I can’t believe I found it among my ADHD-related chaos. Now I will send it to the case worker.

I agree - public schools like Eton, Gordonstoun, Radley and Winchester should be abolished.

Thanking @natalieben for fighting for us today. We didn’t get the result we wanted, but I’m thankful for those politicians who have fought for us and continue to do so. The fight isn’t over ✊

this guy seems genuinely surprised that a large number of homeless people are in work

As Tony Benn used to say, pay close attention to the way governments treat refugees. Because that's how they'd treat you if they could get away with it.
