The ongoing fun of claiming benefits.

I've just spent over an hour on the phone regarding the universal credit amount.

I was assessed as being in the support group, meaning mainly and most importantly that I do not need to sign on.

The second part is that the rate of pay is slightly higher.

This was back in july/August, and I am still to sort out the higher rate.

A something or other has been raised, and I "should" hear back to verify that it is going to be paid.

I am also having £200 deducted this month as I had an over payment of child tax credits when I couldnt work anymore.

Just reminding people that it's a long, drawn out process.

Whiff exactly WHAT benefits are ' handed out to those coming into this country'?

If people would stop looking sideways at other people trying to exist on minimal income, and look upwards at our millionaire government, and their mates, and start to realise who the REAL enemy is - things might get better for us all.

Franbern we will never agree on anything as shown on other threads. As I have known you since 2019. I know you haven't had an easy life and suffered great tragedies.

There is a list of what Ulkraine nationals who enter the country can claim . One of the posters on GN posted and she is very knowledgeable about all things to do with benefits as she helps people with their claims. Can't remember what thread.

Yes the government is at fault . As it's the same old story the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

My husband died in 2004 and he paid in a lot of tax and NI as he had a good salary. I have been told by DWP I will get 43p from what he paid in. The reason I was give was well he only paid in for 30 years. He died when he was 47. So if I resent people who haven't paid a penny in tax and NI into the country I have good reason.
