EDIT: I'm really worried about how I'll eat this month without help. Without the majority of my backpay, overdraft still maxxed out and what little money I've received from the DWP already being taken for debt repayment, I just can't afford to eat without help from here. It's also been more expensive than usual as my landlady has been away visiting her sick daughter and is still gone, so I have no-one to drive me which means I have to pay for the groceries to be delivered. My mobility issues make it impossible to go myself without help.

I've still only received a fraction of my backpay since winning my disability benefit appeal, and even after I receive the rest I'll be several thousand in debt because of all the interest I've racked up after maxxing out every line of credit and being in debt for so long. There's a huge backlog waiting for backpay as the DWP owe so many people money after underpaying people for a long time and wrongly denying so many claims that have since been won at appeal.

I've written before about how difficult it is to access the local food bank. And they only let you go three times in every 6 months. . All the agencies who used to offer financial assistance like Macmillan and the local council, no longer do.

If anyone can help, please send a supermarket gift card to my email address: DisabledAceSocialist@hotmail.com
