Last time was 2 years ago, but hey ho, here we go again...
Now waiting for my insolvency service payouts (less than half of what i was owed, but thats about right...:mad:), so signed on properly yesterday for the first time ever (last time i'd got a job before my interview).
I have a mortgage (and a secured loan), so have applied for housing benefit.
My wife in on Incapacity Benefit (long term).
Have applied for Council Tax benefit.
My JSA claim is "underway"....
Spoke to the main mortage lender (Halifax) but they aren't bothered as i've been overpaying for a while, so got some space there.
Secured loan provider don't do payment holidays - so hoping the DWP pick that one up..
Aside from desperately looking for a job (which I am), am I missing anything?
As my boss said as we walked out the door..."I'm in my mid-30's, I work in Engineerimg..it's not going to the be the first time..."
On wards and upwards..shame there are only about 5% of the jobs there were last time i was unemployed (in my line of work, anyway)...
