I was denied disability benefit. I receive next to nothing for rent and I am still waiting to hear about whether I'll be allowed to receive £60 per week to replace my statutory sick pay. I sent in the application a good while ago now.

I even met with my MP to see if he could help but he was rude and unpleasant and ushered me out of the room. His response to my being homeless was "why should the taxpayer pay?" Well, because I've been paying my NI contributions for years, for one thing.

Thanks RM. I am supposed to be going in January.
