Unfortunately I don’t have the energy to put together some info for the mega this week, hopefully I can pull together something for next week though. As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Of course they should be free, that’s ridiculous. Maybe comrades in the mutual aid com can help you out.
I’m worried about accepting money though, because the DWP are checking people’s bank accounts and I don’t know how I’d explain why someone was putting money in my account.
I got asked about every single person who sent me money. It’s so fucking upsetting. They were even “required” to look at my paypal…
This is what I’m worried about and why I don’t feel I can accept money. What did they say/do about people who sent you money? And how far back did they go? Was it on the phone?
Yea, but I had to upload the statements online first.
6 months iirc
Thank fuck all the people that triggered their suspicion were close family & friends, so I just said the truth & they left me alone. I won’t get into the details, but they did somehow manage to be racist to my partner in the process of bringing this up
I do wonder if you could get away with saying that it’s your friends who are sending you money (which would be true in a cosmic sense lol), but it’s likely to be from many different people I guess, so I wonder how they would see that.
Oh that’s fucked up I’m sorry
