The cuts and changes to the benefits.

There are a lot of changes and cuts to the benefits in Britain.
The stresses of the changes are too much for people with disabilities and health problems.
This can make people worry.
This can make people ill.
This can even cause death, if it gets far too much for people.
It is so wrong of the government to take money off people who need it most.
No one wishes anyone to be homeless but people with disabilities find it hard to look after ourselves more than other people.
Back in 2011, I had got a letter off the Benefit office about my Incapacity benefit changing to Employment and Support Allowance.
The letter wasn't very clear to read.
There was far too much information for me to read and understand.
 DWP shouldn’t send out unexpected letters or give people unexpected call, the Job centre staff make people aware of the changes face to face in the Job centre.
Days, months, years and time need to be made out clearer to when the Jobcentre wants us in to tell us about the benefit changes and so they can make other places they may have to be aware. 

 We could get a call or and letter any time to tell us our benefits have changed.

It is hard to plan our support when we don't know when they are going to call.

If people are expected to work, they can't be expected to be sitting at home waiting for the Job Centre to call. 
When something totally unexpected it can bring on a person's Anxiety and Depression so it's best for a person to know in plenty of notice even though that's not always possible.

There's huge certain now with these cuts everywhere else that  more and more vulnerable people are in risk of having their benefits cut as the government is cutting the council's money. The worry is in many different ways for example people trying to get work and not being to get work for whatever reason then Jobcentre stops their money.
