Well nothing has changed...lol DWP wars still ongoing theyre still arguing that they shouldnt backdate any payments , we should just suck up the fact they got it very wrong ...dont think so !!
Today is attempt to sort out the Housing Benefit Day after they added incest and killing family members to the calculations its now got so bad that Legal daughter has taken the day off to try and sort this out . We got from owing them thousands in the space of 14 days to thousands appearing in our rent account overnight , this clearly isnt our money and although its tempting to ask for the overpayment and do a runner , it needs sorting , ive tried to talk to them and all i get is the usual you are guilty of benefit fraud speech , we havent notified them of changes etc etc etc . To me it just looks like total incompetence because we have informed them of all the changes and given them all the income proof they have asked for , we just get the you cant have lived on that amount you must be hiding income somewhere speech . So I wish my daughter luck ...much luck..lol
Trip to Lincoln to pick up the Ipad i killed and opticians later and Mr Bah Humbug has said if im feeling brave we could have lunch at Morrisons , see were squandering again.
Being Benefit Beggars, im sad to say we havent ordered our Sky , huge telly or got a few tattoos , but Mr is looking as Spazzy Chariots as he so charmingly puts it , hes getting to that stage but its the price of the wretched things, plus i have to be able to lift it etc etc , told him he should save up for one once were rich , he pointed out if he saved hed be dead before he got one , but i think he just wants to feel useful and take the munchkin to school and potter round the village a bit , plus he could trundle down to see grandad a bit more , he rarely goes out except for hospital and doctors and the view through the window is pretty boring after a few months
I hope you get some joy from one of the agency's involved. I also hope Mr Humbug gets his chariot so he can get out and about.
ReplyDeleteHi we found the cheapest place for a trundle truck as we call them was Care and Co online but it may be cheaper to get a second hand one or ask on freecycle if anybody has one they don’t want. It did give my hubby much more freedom and helped with the depression. The searching will gice your hubby something to do to help the bordom. Ifyou lived more locally to us you could borrw ours.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that your daughter has had luck in sorting out the HB. Hope you can find a chariot.
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to find a chariot, getting out more will certainly help. Hope you managed to get a meal at Morrison's after all you've been through you deserve a little treat. Good luck with the Housing benefit people, sending positive thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThe benefits system is a nightmare. When I worked with people on longterm benefits I could see the devastating effect of the stress it took on people's lives.
