A Dumbarton man who lives with severe epilepsy and has daily seizures, has hit out at the DWP who have insisted he is fit to work.
“After a couple of weeks, I went down to DWP in Dumbarton, and they told me I was to get Universal Credit, which is around £270 a month alongside PIP. Since then, I have been really struggling. “After getting EEG tests and my brain scans, they found out that I had epilepsy. They gave me medication, but I was still taking seizures.
“I went one step further and went to the specialist in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and he couldn’t believe my benefits hadn’t been sorted out. “It runs on broadband, which I had to get in, which costs over £30. I have to pay this off with my basic benefits. All I want is to be reassessed so I can be paid the correct amount of money.
