Tell us about your debt and how has this affected you? e.g. anxiety levels, financial and accommodation stress:
Extreme stress/distress whilst already struggling with severe anxiety disorder and depression for several years.
How do you feel about the way the Government has handled this process?:
Absolutely heartlessly. I was on the wrong payment for a period due to my universities error (I was actually eligible for Newstart allowance for the whole period I am having to pay back, which is actually a higher rate of payment)
But I am too scared to dispute it in case they try to get me for more money!
