My social worker is only providing me 4 hours support. He was supposed to contact an agency in December but did not, claiming he was waiting for me to make my mind up. Apart from this, I called The Action Group and he had not contacted them.

I spoke to him and he said I will only get 4 hours of support and it will increase if I get a flat, but I am not wanting supported housing and even before I went into that previous scheme, I still had at least 10-12 hours of shifts with support workers. He acts like we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

I have a chance of getting acting jobs and I have to get my "mother" to do it since I am NOT even meant to go online, thus she is typing this but I am instructing her what to type.

Seems he wants to control how my support should be run.

You aren't allowed online due to having stalked/harassed/terrorized rather a lot of people. That you merrily violated no contact orders by calling/texting folks who had no contact orders against you. It's your own damn fault a judge declared you're not allowed online.

4 hrs support is a start. Take it, see how it goes and pursue the paperwork (or whatever) required to get your # support worker hours increased.

That's pretty much how it works. You take what you can get, as frustrating as it is.

But AI was longer hours. Well, too bad.
