    This started off as serious question, but know :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
    I am so sorry you are not getting the support you wanted to abuse public money for your own gain.

    Maybe I should just pay you my taxes instead and cut out the middle man.

    How did you notify them you had started work?
    To have paid you this money someone has run through your claim,
    its it still live and therefore you will continue now to get payments....
    You know what you need to do so phone up and sort it.
    Its only official error if you can prove you notified them of the change, eg you started work you put it in writing, you notified them and its on record
    How have they paid it with no med ev then strange !!!!!

    Thanks for the support !!

    You've been given the best 'support' - advice to return the money before you end up in serious, and expensive, legal troubles. I'm sure you're not really daft enough to think of doing otherwise, so don't know why you asked the question.
