We are so sad at this story .One of our members with a disabled child waited 6 weeks for the Home office to issue her with a new Aspen card when hers stopped working , no emergency payments offered, She was told to wait. WAST funds and local food bank kept them from starving

“The accommodation was filthy and overcrowded. There were cockroaches and rats everywhere. I have serious health problems that mean it would be particularly dangerous for me to catch the virus. But it was impossible to self-isolate in that place.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…

"Being destitute during a pandemic is the worst feeling ever. It makes you feel like you are just a box and if someone wanted to kick you, they could; you are just an object, not a human with feelings," says Edna (name changed) #SistersNotStrangers independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

What have we become? ~ “confidential inquiry into maternal deaths found 3 women who died were affected by NHS charging. ... women with high risk pregnancies avoiding maternity care out of fear of incurring a debt they cannot pay.” ? Thank you 💐@MaternityAction Keep fighting

🌟 £500 RENT REDUCTION WON! 🌟 Sophie lost her job at the beginning of this crisis, and her Universal Credit payments weren't enough to cover rent and bills 😰 She started to build up rent arrears, and faced immense pressure from her letting agency 😬

There's no legal aid for people to make applics to remove #NRPF. If people can't access free services like ours they are pushed towards private solicitors or forced to attempt the process themselves. We've written a self help guide: gmiau.org/help-and-advic…
