I've been away for a while, quite awhile.
7 weeks ago, the tax credit office stopped my main source of income, today they refused to reinstate it, claiming that despite working 70 a week they couldn't class me as self employed.
I got so stressed on the phone they called the police because they were concerned I was going to self harm. The police put me in touch with the crisis team - something no one else has ever done.
Because of their decision I have now had to close my the business I've spent more than five years building up from nothing to a small profit, not much, but a profit none the less. Now thats all gone.
I still have no income apart from PIP, not enough to cover any bills.
I can't work, mainly due to the stress they have put me under.
How am I feeling? Defeated!
