"Benefits cut because I got ill"

About: One Recovery Bucks

(as a service user),

I find most of the help good. But because I fell off my script I was very ill and so could not go to the groups as a result. My GP was told and she would not give me a sick note so then I could not get any benefit which will result in me having to commit crime, I. e steal, beg etc. I think if you are too ill to go to groups you shouldn’t be persecuted and penalised for it. I feel as if we have to go to groups or we get no script and worse your benefits cut off! Because of not going to groups.

Thanks for your very honest feedback. Here at STARS we encourage engagement to all interventions to enable / support holistic recovery, not just medical stablization.

If you would like to discuss your care in further details please contact me at STARS directly so I can look into this, I would not expect this to happen as the first response. We have no authority over your GPs decision making.

Wishing you all the best. Tracy
