Hi . I'm currently self employed and on legacy benefits (tax/working tax credits). I was working 12-16 per week from home but the last few months I've been to ill to work. I receive standard daily living PIP. I have Fibromyalgia, CKD, Anemia and Depression. My daughter leaves college this summer.
I'm so scared about going on Universal Credits . I can't work as I feel different every day, sometimes in that much pain I don't get out of bed. I spoke to welfare rights last year and when they worked out how much I would be better off , it was actually over £150 per month less. I know I'll get less when my daughter leaves college. I just don't know what to do I've heard so many stories saying I'll be made to work. Any advice gratefully appreciated.
Vanessa
