DWP's Obligation to Benefit Claimants

1810121314

Comments

  • After looking at a few things, I think he may mean a crisis grant, if he is in Scotland? As his first post mentions Glasgow. Although I'm not one hundred percent as he is not clear and I don't know enough about Scottish benefits.

    EDIT: Any chance of clarification on what the DWP said when you asked for them to pay you again?

    For clarity

    No crisis loans but councils may provide certain goods in an emergency (in England anyway!). As far as I know it's at County Council level

    For example

    ETA.

    I am not getting involved in this discussion. Just providing information for anyone who may be reading and in need of help

    OP is a troll as I refuse to believe anyone can actually be that stupid.
    It's nothing , not nothink.

    Have just been reading other threads by the OP, they are hilarious and he will argue with every single reply.

  • What does "entitlement to benefit" mean in a DWP letter that states per week you will receive £100.

    Does that mean you will see "£100" on a bank statement or ATM screen or does it mean you will receive one hundred pounds sterling every week?

    If the bank won't give you the one hundred pounds sterling that the DWP have decided you NEED what do you live off of?

    Who has a duty to help at that point and why?

    Regards

    How much are you willing to pay out of your benefit for a DWP employee to drive to your house once a week and put some pound notes in your hand?
  • Oh so now you accept that if someone steals the money from the DWP's agent or the DWP's agent will not give you what the DWP say you are entitled to from their agent that the DWP is the person who owes you pursuant to law the one hundred pounds sterling; as per the example.
