Partially sighted stroke and cancer patient, learning to walk again, going through months of foot surgeries. Fighting a disability benefit appeal. I won my last appeal just 2 years ago and am now going through yet another one. All I want is peaceful, painless assisted suicide.

2·3 days agoThank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Thanks, I do really appreciate the effort.
Thanks for trying anyway. I know it’s a nuisance, with the gift cards.
Thank you so much, I do truly appreciate it.
This explains a lot about the horrible way Christians treated me when I asked them for help finding food banks/accessing food in general. They told me to “man up and sort your own problems out,” and said I shouldn’t even be getting disability benefits anyway because “that’s socialism,” and refused to help me in any way. I think you’re right and they viewed me as undeserving for being weak.
I feel it’s like the people who jumped from the building during 9/11. You are of course scared to jump but eventually what’s behind you, pushing you to jump is even scarier.
If I win my benefit claim then they’ll check the past 6 months of my accounts. They estimate my appeal will be heard in January. If I win I’ll probably start receiving my benefits the following month. So receiving money by paypal this month will, I hope, be OK and just past the cut-off point where they won’t even see it. And just in case they do, if people write that it’s a gift, that should help as I am allowed to receive gifts, I’m just not allowed to earn money. I just worry if they do see it and there are gifts from multiple people it might look suspicious. But right now having transport is more important.
No she doesn’t. she doesn’t really use the internet except in unavoidable situations, she’s about to turn 80 and struggles with that sort of thing.
A DWP disability benefit assessor told me I could cure my partial blindness by wearing glasses. When I explained that glasses don’t bring back missing sight, she said I could walk around constantly rotating my head in a circle to give me a full range of vision. This was part of the reasoning used for giving me zero points on my reassessment despite me being in active cancer treatment, recovering from a stroke and recently having become partially sighted.
Thank you!
