I've recently lost my job due to my illness, fibromyalgia and depression and anxiety. I'm 55. I've applied for all the benefits I was told by the CAB, and just discovered that my universal credit this month won't even cover my rent. I get a small pension from my late husband's employer, which I used to pay bills etc, but didn't know they would take that amount off my UC.
I have debts too I can't pay. My pain levels are through the roof. My depression is worse than it has been for a long time. I'm sunk. I won't be able to feed my animals and without them my life is over.
How cruel is this government? I worked hard all of my life apart from when I had my children, and now I'm ready to end it all. #universalcreditkills #mylifeispointless #darkplace
