🔜📝 New blog on Friday Returning to your PhD studies following a Bereavement by Hema Chaplin @HemaChaplin "I think taking the decision to step away from something that is having a negative impact on your mental health is commendable" #AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicChatter
Two speech bubbles, one pink and one blue, both containing quotes from the advertised blog post. The pink speech bubble contains the quote "For the next five years, I experienced a mix of extremely stressful life experiences at the same time: undertaking a PhD, being a caregiver for Dad, his death, and the grief that followed". The blue speech bubble contains the quote "Writing the Acknowledgement/Dedication can be triggering as it can be difficult to put into words the level of thanks and gratitude you feel...especially for those people who are no longer here".

The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) is writing to people who receive these benefits to let them know that they need to claim Universal Credit instead. This letter - called a Migration Notice – explains what you need to do & when. Go to gov.uk/ucmove for more info.
Informative reminder graphic by Kidney Care UK that says: "If you are currently receiving one of the following six benefits and tax credits, please note that these are ending and being replaced by Universal Credit: • Housing Benefit • Income Support • Income-based Job Seeker’s Allowance • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance • Working Tax Credit • Child Tax Credit" The Kidney Care UK logo is in the top left corner.
