Well my place isn't going to be like that! No warnings, no telling off, they get to walk the ABCofUC plank and are barred 😝 

I'm sure there will be many!

In mitigation l would like to state the following.

1. I am the only person at person at present who is setting up and acting as admin for this site.

2. I am dyslexic.

3. I am currently taking large amounts of pain medication.

With all the above l hope you won't be too hard on mistakes and errors but be kind enough to point them out to me

Thx in advance auntiebiotics 

I have climbed the walls and braved the trenches of ESA, DLA and PIPs.  I know the stress of the interview and the dreaded brown envelope.

This is a friendly, supportive space where people share experiences, ask questions and look out for each other. There's no pressure, but if you'd like to introduce yourself, we'd love to hear from you.

You could tell us:

• What brings you here, or what you're hoping to find
• Anything you're comfortable sharing about your situation, such as a benefit you're claiming, thinking of claiming or supporting someone with
• Something about you that has nothing to do with benefits, like a hobby, a favourite brew or your pet's name 🐾

A gentle reminder: please don't share personal details such as your full name, address, National Insurance number or claim reference numbers. A first name or username is plenty. Share as much or as little as you like. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone here.

New here and a bit nervous? That's completely normal! Lots of us felt the same way at first, and you'll find a warm welcome. You're very welcome to just have a look around, too. Say hello when you're ready.

Looking forward to meeting you. 🫶

PS:

You will probably notice many allusions to The Lord of the Rings. That's because l am a huge fan of books and films, and entering a certain medical examination company doors reminds me of the Black gates of Mordor.
