Massive Rant, A bit angry and have no one to vent or talk to about it.
I don't like being one of these people,But i would really like some input, I don't believe that i'm entitled to anything and that the world owes me anything but the whole benefits systems seem to rigged against me despite having countless organisations supporting me such as Adult Social Services,Welfare Rights & The Shaw Trust. They have practical been unhelpful, they keep saying they going to do something and never seem to do it, They send referral me to outside organisations which provide me with the exact same help which honestly isn't helpful.
I've just received a letter about my personal independence payments, It's actually the reply to the mandatory consideration and it makes me angry. All these organisation that are working with me keep telling me that i need to apply for Personal Independence Payments. Welfare Rights that help individuals with filling out their benefits forms has told me that there is no point in going to tribunal because i lack the medical evidence.
The medical evidence i'm lacking is because my general practitioner/Doctors Surgery keep failing to refer me to place that can diagnose the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder among the other issues i have such as Sensory Processing Disorder, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia. It has now has been Officially Eight years since the first request to be assessed and because of administration issue my referrals have been closed without informing me or the Doctor Surgery. I have an autism Diagnosis that i waited six years for and it was discussed during my Autism Assessment that with my previous medical history that i also might have everything i have mentioned and that it needs to be diagnosed.
I had an massive mental breakdown, not an autism meltdown or shutdown but a full mental break down where i was so close to suicide the crisis team was involved which honestly didn't help. They prescribed me antidepressants and antipsychotics medication that made the depression, Anxiety and the negative behaviours associated with my Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder worse and they didn't seem to care. I was on them for about three months before family members put a stop to them because the amount of dysfunction, i couldn't function on them at all. The last three General Practitioners i have seen are adamant on not prescribing me any Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder despite recommendation from not only the Professional who Diagnosed me with Autism and the last psychiatrists i saw.
My Mental Breakdown was caused by a majority of factors. I started a job at the beginning of the year and was immediately bullied by other workers to the point where they where physical hitting me, Throwing stones at me and stabbing me with used medical supplies used on livestock was the route cause.I took the job because it was the only option left as i have exhausted anything within reasonable distance of where i'm currently living. I have tired an apprenticeship and they decided end it early on me, I have worked in hospitality industry as a bartender, Waiter and even a Kitchen Associate. I have worked as a shop assistant, Warehouse assistant Cleaner & Gardener and i have been fired or managed out.
I need the Personal Independence Payments because i am unable to drive been told that i need to see a medical professional because reaction time has gotten worse and unable to ride a push bike due to chronic Balance problems and have no access to any sort of public transport which is the reason why i'm looking to move out of my parents overcrowded home. I am twenty four years old and i need to move out and as far away form them as i can because of my family substance abuse problem.
I have someone from adult social services working with the local authorities housing department but without the personal independence payment but i will not be able to afford the basics without it Rent, Bills and Food
It just seems that i am being set up to fail, Im now twenty four and i wanted to go to college and learn trade but without the extra support in place i will never be able to complete it. I have been waiting from the age of sixteen for all the paperwork to enable me the extra support and i am still waiting. know if i want to do some sort of apprenticeship or college i have to pay for it which without the ability to maintain a job it financially out of question.
