Benefits advisor was helpful. She thinks support worker was right and I don’t qualify for a work capability assessment, so that means looking for a job. She agrees full time would be too much (as proven in the past) so someone will come with me to my next jobcentre appointment and explain it to them. She thinks I do need to put on a complaint but says she’ll leave support worker to deal with that side of things when I see her next. She’s going to tell her to get in touch with me once the schools go back and her hours go back to normal.
Also heard back from RASAC. They explained that something happened with therapist human and she quit pretty quickly and usually this wouldn’t happen, and are seeing me within the next two weeks. If I need to see them before then I can ask for a crisis appointment and I’ll usually be seen the same day so that feels better. Don’t think I need a crisis appointment currently, I’m managing now I know whats happening.
She also contacted other counselling service and they said they would take on a referral, but did say that RASAC would be more appropriate because of the specific resources they have. They still can help though, so might be worth looking into if rasac don’t keep their promise and see me within 2 weeks.
