  • The system as you call it is under great strain atm,lengthening dole queues combined with savage job cuts at the dwp = chaos.
    I find it quite amusing that many of the people who were clamouring for cuts in the civil service are now bemoaning the fact that its now in some areas undermanned.
    Now if you have a problem with benefits,and not just a gripe please feel free to ask us for help...

    Another one who can't be bothered to or who ignores the rules of this subforum.

    Allow me....
    This board is here for help and support for those on or looking to claim benefits, not for judgement.

    Of course we all know the benefits system is a mess

    Whatever you're political persuasion, we're all aware the benefits system is a mess. Whether its the malpayments of tax credits on one hand, benefit fraud on the other hand, or simply the fact that sometimes it doesn't pay to work - everyone has their grumble.

    This board is here to help people with their money though..

    Yet that isn't what this board is for. It's here to help people find out what they are entitled to under the current system, and to help them get it. Benefits do provide a lifeline for many, and this site is here to help people with their money, and not to judge. Of course, how to illegally defraud the benefits system shouldn't be discussed here, but ensuring you're getting your entitlement is exactly what its about.

    Want to discuss the benefits system? Go to the discussion board

    If you want to discuss the benefits system itself and issues around it, the appropriate place isn't here but the Discussion Board and even there, please remember courtesy and not to make it personal about anyone. This site's prime purpose it to help people with their money and I will always act to protect that.

    Thanks for your co-operation

    Martin

    Please post in the correct section if you want to have a gripe, where you will find other people happy to gripe with you. This section is for helping people. Thank you

    scuse me but
    every person is wrong? how do you know they are wrong, if you know definitely that they are wrong, you presumably know the right answer so why are you asking. in the first place:confused:

    2nd bit, How do you know its the wrong information unless you already know the right information so again, why are you asking.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
