Need Better Support for Disabled People

It was a very rocky start, very frustrating and extremely stressful on top of an already awful situation. I am disabled, phone calls are physically and mentally challenging for me. StepChange is very limited when it comes to accommodating disabilities, but also just acknowledging them. When submitting my budget it took multiple weeks to get through because someone kept flagging the low amount budgeted for food. Having no income and a disability that means you can’t cook or wash up really does limit what you can eat. I was put in a position where I had to explain that multiple times and only when I submitted a formal complaint did my case progress. Months had passed and this caused further stress as my debt then passed hands, further delays. However, once the ball finally got rolling and a plan set up, it was a much better experience. Dealing with the Settlements team was a breeze, they were more accommodating to my disability. I do recommend StepChange however it’s my opinion that further support needs to be considered for disabled customers, especially as they are at a significantly higher risk.

Excellent help

To me step change was a life saver, I was in dept with no way of seeing a way out and step change changed all that with the help and advice on what to do, I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

Stepchange gave me breathing space.

I had lost my job as a supply teacher due to poor mental health and disability. My debts spiralled out of control as my finances were reduced to £75 per week. My mental health suffered greatly and I buried my head in the sand, avoided phone calls and the mountain of letters asking for money. Stepchange was actually suggested by one of my credit card companies. It changed my life. No more harassment for money that I could no longer earn, I could breathe for the 1st time in months. The process was simple, and online, which helped me deal with my shame of owing money. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
