Just reading through other participants public posts and find it totally frustrating to think about the needless suffering of good honest hardworking people living in a wealthy country.

I can relate to so much of what has been said by other people however what sprung to mind was my disappointment discovering further removal of services to lower income claimants.

It feels as though disabled and low income patients are being left to rot. Fancy having to choose between whether you can afford the cost of travel to a medical appointment or not bother attending?

Patient Transport Services was a significant help to me, until more recently. My appointments were miles away I couldn't have made it there on public transport nor was there anyone able to ferry me to and from appointments.

Patient Transport Services provided me access to attend a specialist hospital for treatment on a regular basis over several years. Without which my mental and physical health would have deteriorated significantly.

Even this has seen the criteria for eligibility change and I am not longer classed as eligible.

Cuts backs are pushing people into a pit of despair.

Just more of the despicable reduction in benefits or services most people used to rely on.
