well just had a letter from the government/welfare re 8% across the board cut backs...

as rents have fallen in the last year (where ?? ill move ) the maximum amount of rent is being reduced from 1st june
the minimum contribution is to be increased by €6 from €18 to €24 a week..
an 8% reduction is also being applied

so if you only paid 18 towards your rent you now have to pay 24 a week

existing rent allowance €816.50 ( i pay €383.5 or €95.88pw)
less increase in minimum contribution €26.00??? (already pay more than min???)
less 8% of balance €65.01
new payment will be €725.49
so now have to find €91.01 extra a month €22.75 a week

then they have the brass neck to tell you to show the letter to your landlord so he will drop your rent in line with the decrease!!! the same landlord who they just took the tax relief off 2nd morgs from!!!!

Well I have just about crawled onto the computer and Hypno seems to be well ahead of things already! Shaun :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: to the benefits people - can you appeal that decision?

That is truely awful. I feel so sorry for your situation Shaun, you must appeal it.

I don't even pretend to understand housing stuff.....so can't offer anything other than the angry smiley :mad: for you shaun.

I've typed up some of the letters I needed to write, but now need printer paper and ink......gah! That means a trip out to the city which I was hoping to be able to avoid. Bang goes my No spend day, but if I don't get these letters done, they will cost me more in the long run.....

Onwards and sidewards!

Upwards & onwards & hopefully not downwards as I say.

hi all
no.... no appeal
this isent being applied to me on a personal level ..
this is for everyone on welfare,,
we the people of the country all have to cut back in these hard times
it just 8% of 240 is harder to recover from than 8% of 160,000 plus expenses a yr!!! :mad:

not forgetting 185 a month extra child benefit they took as well:mad:
so 100 amonth
20.00 saved cutting back tel bill to basic deal
30.00 saved cancelled sky
o/s 42 10 a week off food looks like 3 no eating days for me then...
( by no eating i mean......no diner ,, not no food!!!)

so this is it as low as it can go,,,,and i know this budget is not possible as dont include
cloths,birthday,xmas,

and holls definitely cancelled
!!!!! !!!!! !!!!! *hit

Hi Hypno,

I've been away over the long weekend so have just caught up. Well done on

being in the £20k's and

FINISHING the ironing!

Sad to see you were up early this am despite having a day off. How do you keep going? Hope you'll manage some lie-ins on your holiday at Centre Parc!

hypno06

Hi verbatim....no such thing as a lay in for me, sadly, no matter whether I am working or not.......I just keep going because, well, I have to!
