Universal Credit - 11th Mar 2015 6:49pm
Just a little rant about the current system of Universal Credit ... I've only been mentally well enough to look for work recently after a6 month battle to ease my depression /anxiety / heart problems and dizzy spells which led to a broken finger ... Spent 5 of those months with no money due to ATOS Medical and DWP Mandatory Reconsideration / Appeal...
So I signed up for UniversalCredit as my appeal left me with 12 points (needed 15 to continue on ESA) while I begin my search for work (past fortnight to be exact) Been offered 2 voluntary courses (1 I attended 1 I said NO too) and I find the "claimant commitment" to be intimidating and bully like in it's wording and intent (Do 35 hours of jobsearching each week,DO EVERYTHING WE TELL YOU and PROVE IT or we'll cut your benefits!!!) Personally think this government has lost it's marbles and I will be looking for any work just to get away from the narcissistic jobcentre !!!! AAAAAaaaaaRRRRGHHH rant over
