I am very sorry to hear of your dilemna with it all and the subsequent nightmare it all is.

I do hope you asked them what was the relevance of whether or not you live alone has any bearing on the matter as the medical is intended to be about you and NOT about who helps or assists you per say.
If being alone counts for more points than those who have a helper/ partner etc then the whole thing of it being about you is in doubt and can legally then be challenged.

If anything, living alone seems to count for less. Having to shop for yourself or make a sandwich for yourself because there is no-one else to do it for you, seems to lead to the assumption that you must be fit for work. You shop, therefore you can mobilize; you make a cup of tea, therefore you have dexterity. The pain or fatigue it causes seems to be ignored.

I agree with you YT, but i also have to say for those who have been put in Wrag and if the have a partner working a certain amount of hours will only get their payments for 365 days, then it income related, so most of them loose it, the wholw system is wrong and is just designed to cut the welfare bill, sadly genuine people are suffering the most.
Keep your chin up i,m trying too.
