Bipola LCWA was created by Ziporina
I have bipolar 1 fluctuating and have started a university course for 1 year in Councilling
The job centre have called me in for identity ? I have no idea what they mean they haven’t explained but will my money be stopped?
I wrote In journal about university but they had no idea about anything.
I am in halls of residence which a friend has gifted to me

Hi Ziporina

When you get called in for identity, it is to prove who you are but I would seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation and also from your student union, are you a full time student?

Yes full time and am on LCWRA
They have now decided they want 4 months bank statements and am reducing my money By a £100 a month because they say I get £90 profit from loans company after paying fees .
I write this for my daughter who is the one with bipolar do you think she will be forced off LCWRA because she made a hasty decision to go to uni to do this one year counselling course ?
I still support her and she is in Lincolnshire so that I am close by .
She dosent mix and is very isolated but is trying hard .
This going to job centre and them being nice to her made her think they genuinely wanted to support her saying they would do her journal for her etc and even the Id meeting they said they would write up in journal she need not bother!
At times she lacks capacity and is so easily lead ?
I sm now left trying to stop her going in on herself thanks to this episode from the job centre .she may fail now as concentrating is hard but her focus is on this and she is feeling disturbed.
No real support at at uni
Union not helpful but then it could be my daughter not divulging what is wrong?
