Oh holy shit that's disturbing! I live in Wales and I get these same benefits and yeah the assessments are still stressful but i've never experienced this level of predjudice in them. I didnt know i was so privilaged for living here! I hope things get better for you, i wish we could get the whole nation unified under equal quality of the nhs for once.

The state of the union.

Westminster are demonising disabled people. This is sickening.

#tho not to say we're perfect or anything #im lucky i was finally able to get a diagnosis for my ptsd and get accepted onto pip #cos when i was on employment support allowance it was reaaaaally bad #like they just outrigjt would not give me anything except 'currently looking for work' despite how i wasnt able to do that at all #and i had no opportunities to get the therapy and additional education i needed to actually hold a job #and they made me apply for jobs i just straight up would not have been able to do with my disabilities #and line up outside a job centre in the rain at 7am for ages while they always opened late #and then wait another hour inside to get my damn appointment #and have stressful interrogation once every damn two weeks and live in terror of actually being #accepted for any of these jobs i physically could not do #so yeah im glad i had a support worker to teach me how to deal with the system and how to be persistant enough to #finally get a damn diagnosis and god damn medicine for the things that are wrong with me #but im still terrified every time i do these assessments that theyre gonna decide im suddenly not disabled enough and throw me back down #also i had to do all that shit when i was still a teenager living alone in a homeless shelter and way less equipped to actually deal with it #i dont even know how to feel about it cos i mean the job centre was tormenting me but my support worker was saving me?#and now when i finally got to see a psychiatrist and get diagnosed and get medication im doing way better #so i cant really say i distrust the nhs as a whole but its more like its a frustrating frankenstein of some good departments and some that #are waaaaay more controlled by the politicians and corrupted into not doing their damn job #and all those ones are the gateway ones.. you have to fight through a wall when you're at your weakest...#i mean its still better than pay-to-play healthcare but still i think britain's nhs is worse than other countries's equivelant programs #apparantly sweden has a really good one? and like zero politician interference in it?? i cant even imagine that...
