DisabledAceSocialist [comrade/them]

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.

  • Thanks, unfortunately I’ll still be in a tonne of debt. I had to live on credit for so long during the appeal, that even when I get the full backpay (and no idea how long the rest will take) it won’t be enough to pay the debt off because of the interest. I had to pay a fortune in interest, but the DWP don’t have to pay me interest on the backpay. Because I’m still in debt, I’m even still racking up interest charges. So i still can hardly pay for anything. My entire monthly payment now is going on rent and debt repayment and interest charges. I still have barely anything for food, transport, toiletries, or anything else.








  • I totally agree. So many people don’t want to employ the disabled as we need more time off and can’t do a lot of things, but they also don’t want us claiming benefits as they hate “scroungers”. But if we then end up homeless due to lack of money, they don’t want us on the street and put up hostile architecture so homeless people can’t sleep in doorways or on benches. But they don’t want us accessing assisted suicide either. If we then try to commit suicide on our own it’s “Oh you’re so selfish, don’t you know how many people care about you? How could you hurt them like this? Some poor person had to find you!”

    Most people are just evil shits who virtue signal about not wanting us dead but make it impossible for us to live.
