My credit report, is this indicative of somebody who lacks capacity and has poor credit. This is a good score.

The only reason I have excess money is because I live with my parents and my rent and other expenses are relatively low. I also got a large disability back pay payment, but I lived for a few years with zero money to get it. I still don’t have the money to go on multiple vacations a year without eventually going broke.
I don’t spend much usually. Only for what I need and am going to use. Nothing extravagant.

Sri Lanka isn’t a expensive holiday. £2200 including flights, guesthouse with breakfast included, spending money.
The biggest expense was my travel insurance at £778 as been sectioned in last 2 years so this made it expensive.

I am looking to rebook Grenada and even the yearly insurance I found came to more than £1000… I don’t know why. Maybe because I was hospitalised less than two years ago. My partner is going to pay half of the whole trip and we got one free voucher for the flights…or there is no way I can afford the trip.

Don’t use the comparison sites @anon25873142 They are a rip off for people with pre-existing conditions. I used the meerkat one and was quoted £1300 for 28 days in Sri Lanka.
No my partner found a few links on the mind website… But I will shop around. Thanks @bobbilly

I think to have so many holidays planned( when many disabled, and indeed low income workers, are struggling to afford food and heating, due to the cost of living increase, shows a marked degree of insensitivity.
I do feel guilty.
@anon25873142 with Grenada being in the Caribbean this somehow makes insurance expensive, same as the States and Mexico.

I do feel guilty and like a malingerer but my community nurse, social worker, pdoc, community care managers at group home think I’m not doing anything wrong going aboard and they do want me to go ahead with these holidays. I’m only going on one alone, the rest I’m going with somebody as well as going to Israel with my support staff.
Its not my fault people are poorer than me I shouldnt have to be bad about it.
