I woke up to find an extra £1300 in my bank account. And it is all totally legit.
Secret rich friend or government cockup ?

Haha the latter. My mates all have kids
I sent in a reassessment last August? Gawd knows dude. Then my uncle was diagnosed with terminal cancer so our minds were 100% on that. Then he died and then the funeral, where we all caught COVID. So it's been rough.
They phoned last week and did a quick assessment. Seems my mobility has been increased and that back dates. Not 100% sure as I'm waiting for the letter but aye, something was increased
Which is good, cause life is about as expensive as I ever remember ATM
Well enjoy it
My dad is not so lucky, He is physically quite messed up, Seething pain 24/7 from being hit by a drunk woman in a car doing 60 on the wrong side of the road, Neck, Spine, Hips, Legs... all messed up with pins and plates in both legs and mesh things in his neck and up his spine.
He did get the lowest basic of basic disability benefits but apparently now he's not disabled enough and when asked what they mean the person said "well his spine may regrow"...... so they cut his benefits of which he paid into the system for decades down to £50 per month.
Meanwhile a woman over the hall from me, she's nice enough and we've talked at length, who has worked maybe 5 years of her entire 36 year life gets near £2000 a month, with all her rent paid... and her worst issue is anxiety mixed with some OCD... the UK benefits system is broken.
