Disabled and out of work and don't even want to touch trying to get PIP after being denied access to jobseekers for not working enough. Entire system is made to make you feel like you're desperately going cap in hand for scraps which they can deny you for bullshit. I fear what it would do to my mental considering work made me suicidal because of how hard it was for me to keep up a facade of being "with it".

Plus access to work, applied for it at the start of my 1 year fixed term contract, took them 14 months to get back to me so I got nothing, they just closed my case.
