Harvest Festival 2022 (with client story & prayer)
I applied i found the form simple and straightforward answered honestly, its not means tested which is good but be honest. and forgot about it .... got a call from my other half as I was busy away and I got the full amount ! I was surprised and very grateful... I have a selection of needs including cancer but not dieing any time soon ! but I do need help and the money comes in very handy. x
I cannot fathom anyone making sausage rolls without onion and herbs; or garlic or grated carrot and any number of things: bacon, cheese, egg... whatever takes your fancy. Only at Christmas?? Spare me. Every day! Yum. Cheers for this 😊
DINGY DIVERS GET EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY, NO BEGGING BUT OFFERED ON A SILVRER PLATE MORE WORRIED ABOUT OFFENDING THEM BUT KICKING THGE BRITISH PEPOPLE LITERAALY IN THEIR TEETH< IF THEY HAVE ANY NOW?/
This is a really powerful video - thank you Reach Haverhill for the brilliant work you are doing
I applie beg oct and have not hear a thing..now near end of november
I'm sorry to hear that - unfortunately it can take up to a huge 15 weeks, although sometimes much faster. Be sure to keep checking your account though, quite often the money will arrive and the letter follows much later. Best of luck.
If you are going to try to get attendance allowance go to citizens advice first. They will help you to fill in the form. They know all the tricks the people checking your form will do to reject your claim.
Great advice! Anyone living in or around Haverhill (including Newmarket) can give us a call on 0800 009 6710 and we can help fill in the form for free too, but we do only have the capacity to help those in our local area. Worth checking if you have any other local charities that can help as Citizens Advice can get very busy.
They are looking for GP appointments, medications, treatments etc. Many many elder people cannot actually get an appointment.. When you do, its a "waiting list" for further treatment and you never hear back!!
It's true that you should include all those things, and they are important. But don't forget to list things that most people forget about: if you use a pill box because you struggle to get the tablets out, if you have to lean on furniture to get around, if you can't get in and out of the bath etc. All of these things should be listed, even if they feel minor and like a general part of life, it helps build a picture of whatever the applicant is struggling with.
My husband is profoundly deaf, has acute IBS and has severe problems reading because of poor schooling. He needs coomunication support now. Needs support when his IBS causes him to soil himself - 2 to 3 times a week. He could not complete the form because he could not read it properly so I did it for him. He was refused. I have appealed because I know he is entitled to AA for the communicarion support element alone. How do I know - I worked for 23 years with Deaf and deafblind people.
Hello friend, here's hoping that your appeal is successful, best of luck!!
Do you have to send new forms every year or just it just run on until you may have to let them know there are changes?
Normally only if the impairments change then you need to inform DWP
The aim is to defeat you so you give up . CAB might be of help or DIAL if you have one
That's correct, Citizen's Advice have experts who can help you through if you have questions and are a national charity. We also have certified advisers but unfortunately we only have the resources for our local area. If anyone comes from Haverhill in Suffolk or surrounding areas, please do call us and we can guide you through page by page - 0800 009 6710.
You still have C A Bs? Wow.
@@emmsue1053yes we have one in EK glasgow and they save our day with our debts
Do they ask questions about your condition when you phone dwp for claim form
No they ask basic questions like you name, date birth, address doctors, any other benefits you’re in receipt off currently, any savings, who you live with, if you need the form in brail/large print. It’s actually pretty straightforward, it took me weeks to get the courage to actually call just for a form because my anxiety brain was so worried about talking to someone over the phone and not knowing what to expect, I finally got the courage and did it and it was a sy of relief as she didn’t go into any detail about my condition, I remember telling her about I have mental health problems but she didn’t ask anything about details of my condition. Hope this helps 💙
Thank you for answering this person's question so thoroughly and accurately! And well done for building your own courage, the fear of the unknown is often the hardest barrier.
@@reachhaverhill6784 Thank you so much for kind words, and glad I made sense lol 💖
We keep being told that there are certain benefits available for us to claim,like Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit,but then they make near impossible for us to claim these benefits by making the forms so complicated people give up trying and they keep repeating the questions on nearly every second page what,s that all about?I have had 4 assessments so far 2 for when I claimed ESA and 2 for Attendance Allowance and I got another letter last week saying I have to do it all over again they seem to think that our disabilities just go away after a few months,well mine just get worse as I get older,having worked for over 40yrs. in construction you end up with a lot of health issues,but the people doing these assessments don`t see the problems because they are on the inside and they just look at us like we are scroungers,ok that,s my rant over.
If your unable to claim. A A yourself you can get AGE UK. to put the claim in for you. they are experts at filling the forms in so i found when they were successful at getting my A A thats how i managed it. Perhaps there is something your not quite doing right . Give it another go . Good luck. Ron
@@ronrichardson3103yes that's what Martin lewis said get intouch with age uk think I will try I gave up have through as I got stuck with one those questions
I'm so sorry that you're having to go through all this, it really is unfair that the process is so complicated. I hope you have had some success by now. If you live in or around Haverhill (including Newmarket) you can give us a call on 0800 009 6710 and we can help with advice, filling in forms etc for free too, but we do only have the capacity to help those in our local area. Worth checking if you have any other local charities, as well as Age UK as someone has said, also Citizens Advice although they do get busy.
