Autism Not going to be Protected

Kvothe

Hello

I am wondering how everyone is feeling now the cuts have settle in? I myself have been suffering over the last 6 weeks or so when the cuts were announced, so much so that i am sure i will be checking out at some point over the next 12 months. I say this as i read recently that Autism wont be protected from these cuts like other disabilities will because we I guess are deemed 'functional'.

Also what also bums me out is all the talk of PIP and no one talking about LCWRA and how people no on PIP will lose the health element of UC if this happens to me and i dont get PIP i will be plunged into poverty which i wont recover from so i dont see a point to it all.

I am just wondering how everyone else is? are you struggling as much as me?

Adding to this i dont particularly want links to the Samaritans etc they never answer and i have made my mind up and it actually brings me some peace..

Cheers

  • I get how tough it is right now. I’ve been following the changes too, and it’s frustrating to see that some groups aren’t getting the support they need, especially when you're already in a vulnerable position. The worry about losing the health element of UC is real, and I can understand why it feels like everything's stacking up against you.

    You’re not alone in feeling this way. A lot of people are in similar situations, where the stress of the cuts and the uncertainty is hitting hard. Sometimes it helps to talk about it, even if it’s just venting. Hang in there as best you can, and don't hesitate to reach out to people who understand, whether online or in real life.
