"I live with my wife and 17 year old step son. We have an older step son in work who technically lives with us, but who spends most of his time with his girlfriend. I have been on incapacity benefit with depression for 7 years. I missed a medical appointment in January. I had written it in my diary incorrectly and went in on the wrong day. Because of this my benefits have been stopped. I have to appeal against this. I missed an appointment last year so now they have deemed me fit to work. My son is still dependent as he is currently at college studying. My wife also has depression."Thank you for sharing your story with West Cheshire Foodbank.
