Information isn't always clear, it needs to be in easy read.

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 and easy to read.


DWP should not send out unexpected letters or give people unexpected call, the Job centre staff should make people aware of the changes face to face in the Job centre.

 We could get a call or and letter any time to tell us our benefits have changed.
Days, months and years need to be made out clearer to when the Job centre wants us in to tell us about the benefit changes.


It is hard to plan our support when we don't know when they are going to call, we need plenty of notice.

 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. 

Benefit Cut awareness update.

This is a message to the Student Learning Disability nurses and trained Learning Disability nurses.
Stress is a risk of a killer for all people not just people with disabilities and health problems.
As you all may be aware since David Cameron has been in power there have been more people with disabilities and health problems lose their benefits than ever before. This may seem strange to hear, the stress people have been having going through has affected peoples’ health as far Anxiety, depression, epilepsy, even such health problems as diabetes, asthma and etc is curtained. Most people have even died. Last year alone Britain lost 10’6000 people with disabilities and health problems. Let’s do our best to prevent this stress for people as much as possible by signing the petition or and sharing the link http://www.change.org/p/3200011?recruiter=85458926&utm_campaign=signature_receipt_fb_dialog&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition&fb_ref=Default

 If you work for any service, company, group, organisation to do with learning disability and mental health I would be most grateful if as many of you as possible team up together. This could well be the same for people with disabilities and health problems as well. Many people like me with disabilities and health problems are also Advocates; Learning Disability and Mental Awareness trainers may be people like us could team up together with professionals.  
We need to be awareness that there are people on benefits who don't have disabilities and health problems who don't like working who should be but it's not in everyone. People who are in that situation are making it hard for those with disabilities and health problems http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/benefits-mum-cheryl-prudham-baby-5966870?ICID=FB_mirror_main


Stress of benefit cuts.
·       People with disabilities and health problems are more sensitive to stress than other people due to our disabilities and health problems.
·       If people have their benefits cuts they won’t have access to counselling because there will be money to pay for it without benefits.
·       People who have their benefits cut are in risk of hunger and or debt.
·       People worry about owing money which can push them to end their lives.
·       So many people have overdosed.
·       Not everyone who has their benefits cut or stopped has a negative ending. ·    
·       Winning appeals doesn’t necessary they are going to be better off than before they lost their benefits?
·       People may worry that they may not have enough money back to pay what they may owe.
·       This is where they are in risk of going hungry and homeless.
§      People can’t affront to live when they have lost their benefits for example paying bills, eating, rent, they may end up homeless and or etc.


People who have their benefits stopped are in risk of going hungry or and going into debt.
§      People worry about owing people money.

STRESSES ON PEOPLE'S HEALTH.

§     Due to peoples’ health problems Stress push them into taking their own lives if life gets too much for them. 
§      Stress can mostly affect those who have such health problems like Anxiety, Depression, Epilepsy, Asthma, diabetes,    and etc.
§      Many people have taken overdoses.
§       Many have taken and lost their own lives.

Awareness of learning disabilities and Mental health awareness cuts.
        This is an update of the Benefits cuts awareness presentation.
        Lives of vulnerable peoples matters as much as yours.
        As you know stress is the biggest killer of all but if you are a vulnerable person, you can't cope with it as much as other people.
        What professions need to be aware of is that 10’600 people with disabilities and health problems died last year due to the benefit cuts.
         I was only aware the figures on Sunday 29th March 2015.

§     People are finding it hard to affront living experiences.
§     Many people have lost their lives through eating very little nothing at all.
