I have a debilertating illness, I'm unable to work and struggle through each day, I haven't got a partner to help me, I recieve income support and am told that is the amount I need to live on, I also get dla I have to pay all untility bills, food, cleaning products, it is very hard trying to live on this amount yet everything is going up in price we hear about it on the news, how am I supposed to live without an increase the same as inflation, the only thing I can do is cut back even more. I don't think this is fair, I can't go out and earn money or get any more money.
Usually money goes up bit to compensate for price rises , DLA goes up a bit every year too . It may not seem like they realise , and the few extra pounds they give you may not help but as far as i'm concerned every little helps ! . I am also in the same situation , I cannot work , and feel useless to the changes going on in oncern to price rises but I try not to worry as stress makes my condition worse , I do not go out a lot , nearly all of my clothes are second hand , I buy food that are on offer and reduced and use coupons found online to get free delivery on my grocery shop ect at ukvouchercodes . or money saving expert site helps too . I do worry about bills going up too high as they already seem high but as I said I try not to worry too much . I save where possible so that can help in emergencies , ever little helps .
