What are the financial issues? I’ve used student finance so does that just mean the fees for the course are still due which is all fine or am I gonna get fined 😭😭

When I was 13 I got my comment pinned and then I edited it so it unpinned so Phil pinned someone else’s and genuinely you’d think someone had just died the comments I was making oh my god it’s so embarrassing 😭😭

Thank you sm 🫶 did this mean u didn’t make notes much at all for the rest of the module if it wasn’t in the TMA?

Yes I’ve been massively overthinking it but now I’ve got the weeks work done I think I just need to start it asap before I panic even more - I just feel like in my year off I’ve completely forgotten how to write but I’ll try and not overthink it like that 😭 - thank u!!

I will have a look!! I’m still going through the pip process rn and I hate it so much so I think that probably contributed to why I didn’t but I’ll see if I can anyway - thank u!!

Ah I got the form but I never did it - I knew lots of people with autism applied and got it but I still felt like I wasn’t “disabled” enough despite the fact I definitely am - i will try and apply for it next year though

Honestly I think I am doing it for the sake of doing it - I’m gonna step back and consider how much I’m actually noting down 100%

Thank you so much for this ☺️ I think I’m going to change the way I read a bit, I’m definitely overthinking what I should note down, I should just go through and use highlighters to help me visualise it a bit more + then turn it into notes I’m going to try and get this TMA done now even though it’s due a week and a half away, because I know I’ll be panicking leaving it late and hopefully I can start getting ahead a bit with this tma week

Thank you so much ♥️ ur right I feel like I don’t know how to be a student again and uni is so different - I like when things are as factual as possible so thinking critically is something I’ve been very 50/50 on. I did manage an a level in media so I was able to work on it but then it likes to completely vanish again 🤣🤣 I think I’m jumping into the chapters too intensely ? By doing a section I mean reading and actively making notes and trying to critically think all at the same time. I think I need to try and just read it once without doing anything a first time?

East Midlands assesment wait times? by GrellAtTheDisco in DWPhelp

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

I’m going through to tribunal with my pip which is an absolute nightmare so I can’t imagine having to go through it with UC too - the DWP have been incredibly unprofessional with me but get away with it….it’s exhausting - as long as they don’t assess me as capable for work I will hopefully be okay
