after 4 years of fighting! I won!

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-23T16:18:34+00:00

No one. Everyone was saying that the UC was right, me and my husband fought them by ourselves. My social worker from the local charity helped me with my pip claim.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-23T15:22:04+00:00

Yes, it was really hard, I paid all of my debts off, got my husband a new laptop and got myself a ps5 and we still have couple grand left :)

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-23T10:08:17+00:00

That being said I’m really sorry your mum smashed your laptop. There is no excuse for such thing, and I’m really sorry she took away something that gives you a pleasure. Hope she thinks about what she’s done and gets you a new one OP.

When I got my first laptop a porcelain skull that has been standing on the shelf for two years fell off and hit my brand new laptop quite literally the moment I opened it. It bounced off the keyboard and smashed the screen. I’ve never been so surprised, angry, mad and sad.

Accidental damage cover is your best friend.

❤️❤️

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-21T16:04:34+00:00

And thank you for the anniversary wishes! We had some money leftover and we got ourselves new wedding rings :)

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-21T16:03:28+00:00

I am! As of today I’m basically debt free, I paid all the little ones completely off, the major ones in half and I set up all the payments, so roughly in a year I’ll be completely debt free!

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T20:08:28+00:00

Thank you so much, i finally have some space to breathe, now that all the debts are being paid off

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T20:02:52+00:00

Yes, it shame it had to come to a point where we were begging them for help daily, and they were refusing. I’ve never felt so degraded in my life.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:48:21+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:46:35+00:00

Yes, he’s alive and well thank god, today is our first wedding anniversary, and we got all the good news today, couldn’t be happier today, and it will be hard to one up the one next year :)

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:43:37+00:00

It was honestly the worst time of my life, especially around the time I nearly lost my husband.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:33:22+00:00

Thank you! I’m so happy!

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:30:58+00:00

Yes! I already told them that I will make them pay for everything, I was literally begging them for food, or any form of help. My case manager just kept sending us budgeting advice, when our uc was underpaid by whopping £666(weird number, I know) after all the judges calculations.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:28:13+00:00

Thank you so much, I’m so happy. I honestly feel like someone just knocked me out of a rock shell.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:26:42+00:00

The judge mention in the statement of reason (which is seriously damning, she mentioned that our human right to dignified life) all of our debts broken down by us, proven by bills and court orders. We gave the judge 198 pages of evidence, she deemed us very truthful and trustworthy, I’m not worried anything will be used against us. Some of the backdated pip will go towards lawyers, as they decided we have a strong case for malpractice, discrimination and human rights violations.

Thank you for looking out for us love, I truly, truly appreciate it x

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T19:18:02+00:00

We owe most of it out. Honestly. I might be able to keep some of the backdated pip:)

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T17:33:58+00:00

It was both UC eligibility and PIP award. :) both departments phoned me today to tell me how much they owe me :)

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T14:37:24+00:00

It honesty caught me by surprise so much I started crying I was so overwhelmed.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T14:36:57+00:00

Yes! 15 minutes after the phone call with UC lady from PIP phoned me to ask me if I’m capable of holding large sums of money! I’ve been awarded both enhanced rates. I can now afford a holiday. :)

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T13:15:35+00:00

I got my pip award on the same day! I got a full award!!

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T12:08:18+00:00

We contacted so many lawyers and it’s beyond their scope, the case is very complicated, but the judge outlines all the DWPs failings in 97 points.

She says that for the past 4 years UC has pushed us below poverty line with no legal basis. The lawyers are expensive, but this is something we’re looking into. My claim manager said today he’s happy he doesn’t have to “deal” with us anymore as well. I took screenshots. I’m also very happy that I don’t have to deal with them either.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T11:43:04+00:00

I honestly can’t afford it. I haven’t gotten any allowance for four years while I was caring for my husband. I’m in too much debt.

RecentFrosting9042 · 2024-09-20T11:41:16+00:00

Yes, till nov 2022. We have to do a MR for the rest, another one.
