Careers and lack of support - PIP
Hi guys, please could you help me. My careers is my mother and recieves the appropriate amount of benefits to be so. I suffer from severe osteoporosis and ibs along with anorexia. I have done so for several years.
However since receiving careers benefits, theres been a lack of physical and mental support from her. I live away from her and my cleaning, dressi g, washing all myself. I go home most days because I need to get certain foods and I have a lack of refrigeration to store it and I also take my meds.
She does the following per week:
Makes me salad daily,
Does a weekly wash,
Makes me my daily meds.
What would you advice i do? She does give me petrol money However and my dad does xertain heavy bits of shopping, but i have to collect it. Please has anyone been in this position and what would you do.
To give you further background my family dont understand my illness and never have. Ive received a lot of verbal abuse from them and continue to do so. A lot. At most per week she does an hours worth of work.
