    How nice, do you not think that thanks should be extended to all those who have given you accurate information?

    dmg, now you know how the benefit assessors must feel! newbie, you were quite rude and I think you misunderstood the help that dmg was trying to give you. She was trying to stop you wasting your time further, not having a dig.

    People have helped you. It's not their fault that you are not entitled to Housing Benefit!

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    That is unfair as dmg gave a very clear and detailed answer before, there are some very ungrateful people about these days.

    You're very welcome and thankyou for all the thank yous.

    I do think it is unfair of you to say no everyone has been helpful though! Everyone gave you very good advice! I was only able to break it down for you as i am a Housing and Council Tax Advisor (woe is me lol)

    viktory - if you think thats rude you aint seen nothing! :rotfl:

    Nope I certainly do not.

    I didnt say it was their fault, and nor am I blaming anyone, the ONLY person to explain things was jezzebell, everyone else jumper on the band wagon, okay maybe I wasnt entitled to housing benefit but not one person explained it the way jezzebell did.

    No, dmg just said that I "wasnt entitled to housing benefit", it is appreciated if someone explains things to you the way jezzebell did.

    I'm sorry but being told "your not entitled to housing benefit" isnt exactly helpful but you explained it all, thats what I asked for to begin with, not just "your not entitled to it". Thanks again for explaining it all, very much appreciated.
