    and unfotunaely with working, i dont exactly have all day to que at the cab lol
    fwiw most CAB's have an appointment system now as well as drop in session, because they realise that people have work/family commitments (I am a volunteer at our CAB and am waiting to become a trainee advisor)

    To be honest Looby I think she's looking for a fight, I'm a busy mum and I definitely don't have all day to queue at CAB but there you go, maybe I spend too much time sat outside the pub drinking and smoking like a chimney, you know because anyone on benefits is just a scrounging bum!

    I can afford to feed them thank you very much, well I can when IS doesn't mess up! Can you do a break down then of how £50 would be spent for over a week including gas and electric and then if you think its adaquate enough for long term add water rates, tv etc into that too because unless you live on 8p noodles it just doesn't stretch, for one week maybe but thats literally on the basics.

    so how much of taxpayers money do you want then? can you partner not work if you cant? why are you making more babies if youre struggling as it is? i was dying for a baby when we were skint but didnt even go there since we knew we couldnt even feed him/her.

    i never said that so thats hardly fair. why would i want a fight? or is that all you can come back with when i dont agree with what you two are saying? sometimes people just dont agree?

    I want what the government says we need to live on, no more no less and just because I am on benefits doesn't make me less of a person and do you know what, if working makes me as judgemental as you then I will stay this way!!!!!!!

    No as I said my partner can't work because he is my carer. We made a baby because we wanted one, I'm sorry but if you can't afford another child like you say then you are obviously spending your CHILD benefit and CHILD tax credit on the wrong things as these are for feeding, clothing your baby as well as household bills. Maybe you should budget better!!

    Well i should be grateful i am on benefits because then i can get a crisis loan (hmmm) i then nicely put that you could get one, you disagreed when in fact i know you can. You then told me i should rehome my dogs, and then said we should live comfortably on £50 a week :rotfl:

    i do, thank you which is why we dont live like that anymore, and my o/h has a better paying job. i want 4 kids, but am i going to have another 2? no, because i dont expect the rest of the country to pay for them and we cant 'afford' them on our wages

    IS CAN reclaim their payment from the original account and pay it to the other one.

    Just to confirm Boppy, so you dont have false hope, that I think the above poster has got her wires crossed.

    IS can't reclaim the payment from your old account and replace into your new one. Yes there is a process if payment has not been received into account it has been paid into and I think this is what SuziQ is thinking about.
