He’s mine too. His office helped reinstate my carers’ allowance when DWP suspended it as, according to them, I’d not informed them of my change of address. They’d actually written to my new address to inform me!
Tom and his team are great IMO.

My particular favourites, when living in Germany, were apfelküchen, pflaumenküchen and bienenstich. Lekker! 😋

I firmly believe that by following you, Indy Sage, and other experts allowed us more time with my husband. He didn’t die from Covid; he had blood cancer & had endured many treatments rendering him immunocompromised. I was able to keep him & my family as safe as I could thanks to you & others. TY

I can’t imagine it. None of us can. Thankfully we have more understanding of PTSD now.

They don’t. My late husband fought frontline in the 91 Gulf War and rarely spoke of it. X

I have a brooch too but I do put cash in a collection box when I see one.

Love it! My dad built a house in El Pinar in 1985. We had to drive through the river bed to get up there in those days. Happy memories. Thanks for the photos!

My late husband was a soldier and fought frontline in 1st Gulf War. He rarely talked about it. He never glorified it and only tended to speak with those who’d experienced similar to him. He never wore his medals. He didn’t feel the need to. We went to Remembrance Sunday and quietly remembered.

Not jealous at all 🥰

Some assessors are very kind and understanding but there’s no guarantee of getting one every time. My son doesn’t look disabled and responds with all the apt gestures, etc. Doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that really he hasn’t a clue what’s been said to him.

I do have empathy because my son can walk but he’s learning disabled with speech/language/comprehension/other issues and is extremely vulnerable for that reason. If DWP thought he could walk around the corner to the post box, which he can whilst I’m around, he can obviously travel to Leeds!

Disgraceful. I’m sorry.

Couldn’t watch. Can’t afford a new telly.

I was in Crete this time last year. It’s lovely.

Same happened to my Learning Disabled son. I knew I wasn’t having it as a carer but until then had believed he was booked in to have it! I’m debating paying nearly £200 for us both to have it now. It’s so wrong.

I’m so sorry for your loss xx

I’ve been on it since Jan & doing so well. I’m not at goal yet but I wanted to titrate down when I was ready & be on a maintenance dose before stopping. I could justify the cost for my health. I can’t afford over £300/mth. I will just have to stop now or try Wegovy if I can 😢

Very true. My husband wouldn’t have advised anyone to join up now.

You’re absolutely right. 1991 Gulf War killed my husband and MoD knows it. They’re just waiting till all veterans and their families are dead.
