Why am I being penalized?

Someone can quite easily call someone else ignorant, ChishyChosy. Just because they don't know the full ins and outs of the benefit system does not mean that they can;t tell when someone else doesn't as well and is clearly just spouting their mouth off at something they know very little about - which is clearly the case with your post

I dont know if anyone has mentioned to the OP that some fuel suppliers and utility companies have Trust Funds for anyone who is on a low income. These also sometimes cover expenses other than those you would expect, but its dependant on who supplies your utilities. Look thro the forums, and all the info will be there: Im quite new to MSE so cant direct you myself: maybe another MSE might?
I had a split and my TV Licence went with the ex: My water comapny paid 6 months of my water payments and a new TV licence for me! I just had to set up a new dd, which I was intending to do anyhow.


BTW: the ex didnt dd the TV payments and got prosecuted for no License! What goes around huh? lol

As mentioned you can get help/exemption with eye tests/prescriptions/dental by filling in an NHS form, school meals can also be gained via child tax credits.

Cold weather £25 is one of the few ones that can't be gotten via other means.

You then go on to say you don't even know about the benefit so why voice your own opinion and call someone ignorant in that case? It's rather hypocritical

YES, but when child tax credits dont give you whats due, you cant claim these things.. you are ignorant because you obviously dont know the difference between IB ESA and CB ESA and all the benefits people get when they have paid NO contributions..
