why are they saying no?
Could you maybe help out with something they need?

That’s the thing. I have nothing they need. I am just a burden to them. They wouldn’t even help when I slipped a disc and couldn’t stand for 4 months. They hate me.

Oh man that’s rough. Families are so hard to navigate.
Did they just outright reject you when you asked?

There are two of them and one of me. They connive together and convince each other that I am the problem. My single lone voice doesn’t get a say in their decisions.
One time they even had a go at me cos I got discharged from hospital and they said they were pissed that I would be out in the community again.
Yeah. Mum said no way. I tried to explain that if I don’t get disability I wouldn’t be able to afford to live. They said that is my problem.

Oh wow. That’s really harsh. It sounds like they think you asked for schizophrenia. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. That’s really unfair.

My nurse saw they had a huge problem and tried to arrange family therapy. My parents stopped after it became clear they would have to rethink their outlook.
Yeah mum pretty much daily blaims me for smoking pot and thereby causing my own psychosis. She has no compassion.
If I were a parent I would do things so differently.
That’s a really narrow view for your mum to to take.
I try constantly to get my mum to join the family forum here so she can get some perspective but she won’t. It’s like our mothers have made their mind up on the situation and they want to stubbornly live by these negative perceptions of us.

That is exactly what it’s like @anon84763962. I can’t change my mum - she is a hard but brittle woman. I just have to live with that. Am worried sick about homelessness though.
Oh I wish there was something I could do to help.
When do you find out if you get disability?

Everyone in the uk has to reapply for disability and it is hard to get on the new system. Will know by September so there are months of uncertainty.

that sounds hard but you will not be homeless unless you want to be, the government will not leave you without anything, at the worst you will be on the bare minimum but as you see a p/doc and have a cpn because of your diagnosis i dont see why you shouldnt get pip,
i have been told that despite what its says about being assessed before the end of 2017 that we could be waiting as long as 2019-2020 but i have also been told that when i get the forms through that i need to go to the cab because they know how to fill them in properly and they can appeal if you dont get the award you think you deserve,
my friend recently filled in his how my disability affects me form himself because he use to volunteer at the cab but i dont know if that was wise, i hope he gets a good award though but i think he will have a fave to face medical as well and that is the part that i am dreading, i
i just want to say that i am really sorry if i put this in your head because i really should think before i write sometimes, i say stuff and it can affect people, i feel better now that i’ve been told that i might not get it until 2020 and i have used the cab before and they are amazing.
