Damn. People go in expecting to get help but they don't realise until it is too late that they are dealing with a completely hostile system.
Comment on Disabled people are trying to tell us how benefits system is killing them. It’s time we listened.
VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 7 months agoI was diagnosed with ibd a couple years ago and I am regularly anemic and I need to get iron infusions as well as having regular tests and appointments. I asked about ibd and pip as it is now and the dude wouldn’t understand that I’ve days where I’m completely incapable of doing anything because I’m bloated, stuck at the toilet as well as fatigued. The specialist nurse who is in charge of my care has told me that with ibd there are periods where you would be ok but it’s an unpredictable condition as I might have severe problems for a week and be fine for 2 months
According to the welfare people, I’m clearly fine because my condition is unpredictable.

There must be some religion that would recognise the DWP as saints for all of the healing miracles that they've performed, I've read stories of amputees being told their limb might (or even has) grow back, conditions people are born with being cured, and from my own personal experience - a degenerative condition the assessor clearly didn't even know, getting better because I'm "still young".
(I am of curse being facetious, the DWP needs abolishing, along with the fascist government and monarchy they exist to provide worker cogs for)
