Just wondering if any of my disabled friends who are in receipt of Access to Work have had to wait ages to get a response about an ongoing claim? Four weeks later, and I’m still waiting for them to get back to me.

@GWRHelp train journey this morning was so inaccessible first train platform was changed last minute when we were at the platform. The train was shortened so no seat bookings were honoured with people in my seat. Had to sit a carriage away from my carer because no seats.

in the past, I have dealt with depression on and off. In recent years this was as a result of not being able to find full-time work after graduating from university. being a disabled person and trying to find work was incredibly difficult before finding my current job.
