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.
