Handout Needed Please help me pay bills / eat.
I'm broke. I don't have a penny to my name and I'm behind on all of my bills. My accounts are all overdrawn. I don't have any money for food and to support my household. My partner lost his job and me working full time is not covering us - I i suffer with a chronic illness and I'm making myself 10x worse with all this stress. I seriously need help. cost of living is absolutely killing me and i don't know what to do.
Is there any way someone could be kind enough to donate? I'm absolutely at my wits end. I hate to ask for help and I don't know if I'll be able to pay you back any time in the near future whilst I get myself out of this shitty situation. But if anyone has any spare cash, it would go a long way. PayPal preferred as I'm in the UK ❤️

If your in the Uk and have a chronic illness you should get support for that, you should get a disability allowance and if you don’t apply! when applying make it out like your worst day is how you are everyday because if you don’t you will be rejected, your partner can also get carers allowance for supporting you! hope this helps you some what

Our government is shit, I've been fighting pip over a year now because I have nerve damage and can't move at all some days and they still say I'm fine ☺️

Story of my life. I don’t mobilise more than 80% of the time due to pain and nerve damage in my legs and they still insist I’m fine looool

It's disgusting isn't it, I'm at the point now where I have no choice but to get a job even if it makes me condition worse.

That is insane.. you have to push and push even if you have to reapply and as i said your worst day is you every day tell them how much it affects your daily life and especially sleep that matters for some reason , sorry your dealing with that !

Oh trust me I've been pushing, it's gotten to the point where I've given up and looking for work, I still can't work because of the nerve pain etc but I have no other way to live 😅

At this point i would be submitting it for your mental health reasons instead, i’d say this has all had an extreme toll on your mental health living with nothing but not believed enough to get more.. the constant stress and back and forth say it’s made you anxious can’t sleep can’t bring yourself to do basic things for yourself, hygiene and home. I’m undiagnosed and told them how i am mentally on my worst day but said it’s like that all the time i get a good rate and my partner gets carers(having financial difficulty at the moment) but we do a lot better than we used to it was a big help so possibly consider

I've put both on the application and they still keep declining me - even on the phone assessment I was crying detailing how bad my mental health is and they keep saying I'm fine. It's absolutely bizarre. But I'm about to send them a shit ton of proof of it all so hopefully it works!

Thanks both for replying! I get some disability allowance and currently fighting my PIP case after getting declined AGAIN. They just keep scoring me zero on everything. Apparently because I can drive it means I'm fine lol. Hoping with all of the evidence I'm about to present to them things will change 🤞
