oh my gosh the utter bullshit i've had to put up with from universal credit!!
#i was told before specifically that since i'm a student i can only be expected to work up to 15 hours a week and then since i'm#not entitled to student loans i'm allowed to automatically get benefits without having to find extra work#and it's been that way since january and i've been receiving universal credit since then#but now i've been assigned a new case worker or whatever who is suddenly saying that the rules are different and i have to be earning#at least £890 a month whether i'm a student or not?!! and she keeps insisting those are the rules no matter how many times i say#i've been told differently and have been recieving money based on different rules for months#but of course appointments are all verbal so i don't have any written proof and at this point it feels like borderline gaslighting#idk it's just so stressful and exactly what i don't need and i haven't done anything wrong and i literally DON'T have time to be working#full time and i don't know why they're suddenly insisting it's different now#it's just so much additional stress i really don't need and it's really not doing my mental health any good#also the fact that i'm told i get my benefits cut if i miss an appointment. but THEY were literally nearly 20 minutes late calling#me for my appointment today. i was so scared they'd somehow twist it and accidentally register it that it was my fault i missed it that#i literally took a video of myself with my phone out at the correct time because i thought i might have to prove i was there#i hate it so much and i wouldn't have to put up with any of this if i was just entitled to student loans. but i'm literally not entitled to#any money because the system is stupid#emma vents
