@Simon_P_Hannah@SLC_Repayment Mine was taken out interest-free (2009) and was going down (v slowly) once I was earning over the ยฃ15k threshold. However, SLC changed the rules, I now pay interest on it and it's going back up. Feels like it was misold, but not much that can be done.
@DeanWilliam@AdeleAccess@Adele Yes! First time visiting Germany, the weather, I've only got a cabin bag so my autistic self can't pack for every occasion, can I bring a small backpack instead of crossover bag, can I find a neck fan during this UK heatwave, crowds etc...BST got nothing on this one!
The form is intentionally long, unnecessarily complex and quite ridiculous but worth taking the time out to complete considering what hangs in the balance.
Making small changes to the way we work to make sure people feel comfortable, included, and are able to be part of the conversation.

Today we are at the @principalitysta to launch our #LlaisNationalConversation - our 3 year Strategic Plan
Thanks to all our guest speakers and to the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care @Eluned_Morgan MS for joining us as we begin the conversation for change
Today we publish our first Strategic Equality Plan 2024-2028.
Our plan describes the objectives that we have set for the next 4 years, to help Llais to become a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation.

@thedullmackerel@mooramana@DoctorMayJay@PeterDilworth1@DWP Agreed and many need physical representation at assessment and tribunal not just advocacy or assistance beforehand which most services can't provide. HA's may offer this as part of their money advice services but again postcode dependent and not available to all.
@DoctorMayJay@DWP I'm a former representative. MH is the hardest to "prove", had rows over dosages not being "enough". Stroke patients awarded low rates despite full care. Assessment reports 'misinterpret' info (generous) meaning MR or more. Deliberately designed to be as difficult as possible
@DoctorMayJay@DWP GP info request forms aren't sufficient for them to "assess" the claim against the medical, assuming that was objective (rare). Unless you know case law, produce a detailed submission, understand the "criteria" and have energy to get to tribunal then your chances are low.
