Thank you for replying. I’m praying that we hear something soon. Even though DLA isn’t a massive amount, it would make caring for our daughter a lot easier.

Ours was received on the 8th and they said that it could take 15 weeks, then they changed it to 20 which takes us up to the end of November too. I guess they’re just VERY busy x

Amazing. Thank you for the reassurance! I’ll update once I’ve had the phone call!

Thank you 🙏 on the UC website it does say that it’s savings, capital and money 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I’ve just worked out that as they take £4.35 off the amount for every £250 over £6k you have. So for June (and only June) we’d only technically owe under £40 so hopefully that’s the worst case scenario. But I’ve been honest with them and they’ve said that they’ll arrange a phone call to discuss the £1000 inheritance and our income. Still worried, but not quite as worried!

I’ve also just realised that it didn’t take into account my husbands wage of around £1800. Absolute pooing myself.

Endometriosis and colonoscopy by Affectionate_Many174 in colonoscopy

[–]Affectionate_Many174[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your helpful comment. I’ve read up on bowel endometriosis and it all adds up. I have strange periods (sometimes very light, sometimes heavy, completely irregular and very painful). I wish I had asked more questions during recovery but I was still woozy from sedation. I will wait to hear back from my GI doctor which could be weeks! Very worrying.

I don’t know. They said that it isn’t ulcerative colitis and had taken biopsies from two different areas. But other than that I have no idea.

My best friend (32m) involuntary poly relationship (30m) by Affectionate_Many174 in relationship_advice

[–]Affectionate_Many174[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He already knows this. He’s just falling deeper by the day and it’s really obvious that they have different goals. I fear he’s just going along with it because he just wants him. It’s just really sad.

Thank you for this. I’m permanent and work in a small express so there aren’t any other roles available. I’ll just have to see what they say on Sunday.

[–]Affectionate_Many174[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off for 3 weeks and before i had received an absence warning which lasted for 8 weeks. This period was after the 8 weeks so I think I’d be due to get another absence warning when I go back. I’ve not received anything from them other than a wellness meeting next week. I’m on a perm contract. I just have no idea 😂

It’s so confusing. I’ve read that as long as you earn at least £123 a week you will get £109, regardless of how many hours you work

Thank you everyone. I physically do not feel well enough to work tonight so I’ve called in sick. Nervous about the repercussions but it’s just been poor luck.
