    unfortunately it's the local authority that would deal with that...I would offer to vote but I'm not a citizen :o

    It'll either be underpayment from last year or they have recalculated income based on pay changes last assumed you've had the same this and increased accordingly.

    They decreased mine by about £80 a week last year and when I rang they said they had assumed KH had a 3% payrise and adjusted it accordingly.. I asked if I had notified them of any changes.. nope.. so !!!!!! were hey playng at.. anyway, when I eventually finished yelling at them I got £3000 overdue amounts and.. AN APOLOGY!! for their stupidity!

    That really shocks me Sami.

    I do not for a second want to start a debate about politics but I would have thought you would be someone who is interested and wanted to exercise their right.


    I give my staff time off to go and vote because I believe it is important that they should.
