I'm 17 autistic and fled domestic abuse, which my dad was arrested for, im in temporary accomodation, I explained that, and I explained thats why I have no ID apart from what i have on my phone, I've got online banking, nope they wouldnt accept it, the person i was speaking to went to speak to the manager, I tried to go over to mention about other ID i have on my phone, but i didnt get the chance, I didnt get all the way over, they told me to go and sit back over there, when the appointment person came back, they told me I need to leave, I said ok and went to sit down to book a taxi they came over and said I'm not gonna get universal credit cos I dont have ID and I said ok and they said I need to leave now so I said im booking a taxi and they said Ok no problem.
