    So pleased for you.
    It will be lovely to not have the worry & to have the extra pennies.
    So you won't need to worry so much about the CCJ.

    Thanks Lou. Didn't realise how much it was stressing me out until I got that letter through.

    I won't get any extra money, as I get the top rate DLA now anyway. However, they will be stopping my weekly DLA payments at the start of March and then I won't get a payment from PIP until the end of March, which will be around £300 for the whole month. From then on I'll get a lump sum payment every month, instead of weekly.

    I would prefer weekly TBH, as that £80 a week really helps me out when I'm skint. March is going to be tough as a result.

    I think that you can ask for weekly payments if monthly cause hardship.

    It shouldn't be too bad once the first month is out of the way. At least it's a couple of weeks before I get paid from M&S, so will be nicely spaced out.

    Great news about Andy and Kim. He's also taking the rest of February off from tennis, so he'll get to spend some time with them.
