I quit. I had no choice

I wanted to write something smart or inspirational tonight, but when it comes to it, I can't.

Today I have had to give up my teaching qualification. Why?

Because the DWP took my Personal Independence payment away. Even though I am appealing, appealing takes time and in the meanwhile I can't live on nothing. The money I could get from student finance isn't enough to cover every day bills, and you cant get extra unless you claim PIP.

At least this way we can hopefully get housing benefit. Which will keep a roof over our heads.

It was also the medical that made me too ill to continue as it came at a crucial time of the year for me. Due to the trauma it caused me I was too ill to work for two weeks, and thats' a long time for teaching.

Perhaps there will be time for equolent words tomorrow. Tonight, there is just this.
