If you're homeless in the UK, and especially if you are disabled, you can easily spend 20+ hours per week filing complaints, reasonable adjustments, writing suitability reviews, organising care, trying to get benefits etc.

Just to protect yourself from abuse in the system and to get the right to live a life approaching that of a normal person.

Instead of contributing to society, you have to fight bureaucratic battles just to get what you legally are entitled to.

So effectively, you are working one of the most stressful and bureaucratic jobs imaginable, with 'colleagues' that question and deny everything you say, and if you fail you may freeze to death on the streets, and all without pay.
