As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.
you have to have yearly assessments, where they try their best to force you off the benefits, I've already had my money lowered and I've got another assessment soon, they are very horrible they make you feel awful, they sit there judging you while on their computer typing looking down at you, if the cunt typing decides you can work you lose the disability benefits, even if you are suicidle they don't give a fuck.

What if I'm severely mentally slow, have depression, and psychosis? They can't just lower the amount for some poor person who can't work, being slow is permanent

My monthly payment is good and my expenses are relatively low. So far, it's been okay, but as each year goes by, it gets more difficult, because the increases to the disability don't really keep pace with the true cost of living.

Haven't they got on your case to try get you onto jobseekers to find work, in the UK they are trying to push people off benefits, they try anyway they can to get people into work and off benefits.
It was very tough for me to get disability benefits and now it looks like I may lose them so I need to get a job even though I am not at all ready mentally, I feel doomed.
I am sorry you are going through this. I read your reply to another user about why you might loose the disability benefits..thats awful. I wonder if i should even bother applying for disability. I know they will fill out some residual functioning capacity form and see if there is any other work I can do if I cant return to my previous job (which i cant) no way Ill ever work in customer service again. Im not mentally ready to find a job either..its scary. Most of the jobs that I can think of that dont require customer interaction require either a degree or the ability to do heavy lifting, I can do neither. Cleaning is about the only thing I can think of..plus i dont know how ill clean with the pain im in

I've been reviewed 2 times in 15 years, which seems reasonable I think, and I get a survey every 3 or 4 years asking if I am still disabled according to my doctor. I think I get the "ticket to work" stuff but I don't pay much attention to it because I am way too impaired to work; plus, they contract that stuff out here to private companies and it looks like a big scam, I don't understand the profit model behind it so I try to stay away from it. (I'm in the U.S.)

Been out of work since September, it was my first job and working 8-9 hours everyday got me to a severe low point despite being a very calm job with good colleagues. Currently trying out therapy and meds for the first time while looking for a part time job basically.
Mental illness makes jobs hard but I still get judged by family and friends for not having one or being able to hold one.

You are more then welcome to have a moan mate. I totally understand that it's a crap situation, I myself wish I died when I cut my own throat 5 years ago, I nearly bled out but was saved, imagine going to an interview looking depressed, tired and a long scar on you're neck, nobodies gonna employ me.

Been out of work for the past 9 months. I was able to manage my depression and suicidal thoughts for 33 years. Had gainful employment, never spoke to anyone about my desire to die. ...Then, suddenly I couldn't take it anymore; lost my job, lost my apartment, lost my car, lost my mind. Always thought it was a stupid joke, but it makes a lot of sence to me now: "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."

I'm a chef at a nursing home, and have been for the last 2 years. Usually work makes me feel worse, and is part of what drove me to this point. If it wasn't for the shit I put up with at work, I wouldn't have started cutting

Last year I worked a temporary job for six months but was fired. No harm towards the company. A miscommunication on both of our ends is what caused me to be fired. I haven't worked since. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
