The idea that someone would sacrifice the disabled people to pay their bills is part of the sick people. How is running the system. Carma will come to them sometime

It's ridiculously hard to claim even if your loved one needs intensive 24/7 care. The whole system and process is just going to make you want to jump off a bridge. Better to not put yourself and your loved ones through the nightmarish process and not bother.

Hello Bertie, Thank you for your comment. It sounds like this has been a really difficult time for you and we wanted to provide you with some information which we hope you will find helpful. We were concerned to read that you are experiencing suicidal thoughts. We would strongly encourage you to speak with your GP about how you have been feeling. Your GP may be able to suggest some local sources of support.
