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.

I did pray for y ou last night. I know a gal in DE in our country. She was denied help for 4 years, homeless too and she had a stoke. I know it was due to poverty and lack of caring for the poor. I hate it when our counties do not help those truely in need. Your family? Any hope there? ginnie
