NI vs. ROI

It’s time to think about me and my benefits which would be better off, Northern Ireland or over the border.  I did get to speak with a benefits adviser at the Dove House which the woman came up to the homeless where my friend Lorraine works at (and I used to work at when I lived in Derry back in the 90s).

I did tell her my situation and the death of Craig and what I should do?  I really would like to move to Derry to be closer to the family.  But she told me like it is with Universal Credit and how its pretty much shit.  Nobody likes it.  She also told me that I would be loosing out of benefits here in Derry and would be better off over the border.

So Republic Of Ireland it is then.   I will be looking at three locations which are Killea, Bridgend, and Muff.

I had looked at apartment in Killea which is 5 minutes away from Foyle Street.  Uncle Joe took me to check it out.  He noticed there are cameras around the apartments outside.  I didn’t notice that.  I applied for the apartment immediately and now its a matter of waiting.  I really hope to get it because it would ease my mind a bit.

I have to move forward without Craig.  It’s the only way to heal for me.
