Morning All,

For the 26th January 2017, we had a great total of £644.70 :j

We are doing fantastically so far this month, and I am pleased that once a few direct debits come out I'll finally be able to PAD and contribute before the month ends...

Especially as I had to increase my debt also Sashybo (so I know how it feels), to take into account no income as the JCP stopped all my JSA because I worked part time for 5 weeks (absolutely fair enough), but I gave them all of the information to show that I had finished this temporary role, and they didn't input it into the system and so I had no income at all (I don't qualify for tax credits because of what I earned last tax year). It took over a month to get this sorted, as I have had nothing coming in since Christmas. Also, my housing benefit was reassessed whilst I was working, and despite also telling them that I was no longer working again, they have processed my claim until the end of the tax year (as if I am in employment) and told me that I've been overpaid HB by hundreds. So still trying to sort that out as well - hence the debt once again spirals out of control. I need to get healthy ASAP so that I can work full time, as this limbo feeling is really scary.

Sorry for the rant, but after calling a few times a week for over a month, I was finally told that a payment would reach me today for JSA. But the person I spoke to implied that it was all my fault! (for working on a temporary contract) :mad: I don't believe in benefit fraud, but I can see why people are driven to work and claim benefits as the hassle I have just been through, for 5 weeks work at 12 hours a week is just a joke...

Keedie,
xx

Really feel for you here Keedie

Benefits never being secure (even 10 years ago when labour were in power) was my motivation to get debt free. Even back in the day when benefits were excellent for me and my peers I knew it wasn't always going to be the case - hence I started debt busting...

Please don't lose heart and know we all care and are here for you keedie -

Huge hugs

Hi all, £6 to the loan today as got some cash back money through from TCB. :j

Morning All,

The total for 27th January 2017 was an absolute whopping PAD of £1,349.24! :j:j:j Well done everyone (and great PAD LMD).

Thanks for the support everyone, it is hard at the moment, but I am plodding along. I know that being on benefits will only get harder Erme, and it is scary. But I discussed it all with my psychotherapist and GP and they've made me realise that I can't compromise my health to rush into unsuitable work. As then I'll become very ill and I'll be unable to work at all . So I am still looking for a part time job, but those that don't involve a lot of travel of shorter hours but everyday in an office are a bit hard to find, but something will come up...:cool:

Morning all,

£10 for me today please

Keedie, as hard as it is in the meantime, you are making the right decision in the long run - you have to prioritise yourself and make sure you go for the right job for you
