I wish they had more empathy. I remember before I received the limited capacity to work on UC, I felt immense pressure by the job centre to attempt to get a job, even though I was eight months pregnant at the time. Barely anybody would have hired somebody for a few months. It was only once I had my child, the pressure was taken off. It was unnecessary stress on my pregnancy. I also think that there is this stigma that people on benefits are lazy when many people are on it for physical or mental health problems and they need to realise that no person is the same even if they have the same diagnoses.
