Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

He won't be the only one grassing. I read only the other day that banks will feed the DWP with info about any claimants not being totally honest about what they're using benefits for.
Stressy's on the ball, but then he is from Leeds. MOT ALAW xxx

Yeah for a while, they have had access to accounts and folk reported being contacted about Universal Credit and being asked about tiny amounts of particular spending or input like a couple of quid for a birthday.
Actually benefit fraud, despite popular press, myth and legend, is tiny money and tiny percentage of benefit budget. But is a useful finger to point.
Now, tax avoidance and evasion....
Anyway... some benefits don't have specific spending requirements so be difficult to say it's not being used for purpose... rather have to allege it was awarded on fraudulently submitted information and evidence.
Question the entitlement rather than appropriate use.
Cheers
The system's diabolically unfair and targets the wrong folks. Ay yi yi xxx
Yeah I get cross at how grrrr it is to type here ... any speed produces gobbeldy gook which needs 7 attempts to correct each word!
I know you are going so nyt Hun.
I will just add though that several years ago Stressy filled in his own PIP form and I think based on content and 'style' especially by the end, he will have instantly got all the 'psychotic' points!
Since then of course it's been reduced, appealed, reinstated etc!
Nyt, hope you have enjoyed your day with your daughter and that OH monitoring doesn't keep you too alert to rest
