If not the DWP have a legal duty to get the money to the right person

If you told DWP to pay your benefits by depositing the money into bank account 01-02-03 12345678 and this is what they have done, then they've fulfilled their obligations.


What happens to the money once it's in that bank account is not their concern.

p00hsticks,

Take a deep breath and read the message above it and try and take it in.

If it was a Giro who gave the Post Office the money to give to you when you went to cash that Giro?

What rules did the Post Office have to follow to pay out that Giro legally and to the person named on the Giro.

Banks have EXACTLY the same RESPONSIBILITY to check the identity of the person they are handing benefit claimants money over to. They cannot legally give it to anyone other than the claimant and if they do the DWP must replace it as the contract moved from the Post Office to the banks.

Cheers

You are the one who needs to take a deep breath.

You have no case.

JamesA999

You are missing the following.

This is Social Security Benefits paid by the UK Government to those entitled under UK law to that money.

IT IS THE VERY SMALLEST SUM SOCIETY DEEM ANYONE CAN SUBSIST ON.

It is not wages, it is not salary and it is not money from a friend or day, the claimant cannot go back to work and earn more the CLAIMANT is living on the bread line.

The UK Government has a formal legal duty to ensure Social Security Benefits only get to the claimant and when they don't they have a formal legal duty to make sure it is paid again and again and again until it gets to the CLAIMANT.

Cheers

Stop repeating the same old BS.

Go and start legal action if you think you have a case.

JamesA999

I don't know why you would think otherwise.

Start from the beginning. Benefits are issued under laws, those laws must be obeyed by the UK Government. If they are not obeyed a court will force the UK Government to comply with the law. The law on benefits works on entitlement. I am entitled to benefit and it is paid in benefit weeks. If anyone of those benefit weeks payments gets to someone else before it gets to me I get it paid again until it does get to me. I would Google the social security benefits administration act if I were you.

If the benefit gets into my hands not the banks hands not the post office's hands not any other agents authorised to pay out benefits and I lose or have my benefit stolen that is a separate matter but because the DWP pays it into a bank doesx not mean the UK Government has met it's Obligation to ensure the benefit reaches the claimant in the form of cash and only the claimant.

Get it yet?

You are the one who doesn't get it.

Why do you think someone else should pay for YOUR negligence and stupidity? You left it 6 months. Not 6 hours, not 6 days, not 6 week. Six months.

You clearly don't need the money as you lived without it for 6 months and didn't even notive, so crack on mate!

You need to take a deep breath not anyone else. In your case, it wasn't a giro, your benefits were paid into your bank account. You gave your bank card and pin number to someone, who withdrew your money over a number of months..... who's at fault? you, not DWP.

Ring the DWP I’m sure they will have a good laugh when you ask them to replace it.

Poppy,

I said I gave the man my debit card, no pin and a letter.

He was arrested by Police Scotland after doing a runner and they put a trace out on him.

Why would I be responsible for him spending my money when I gave him authority to make one courter withdrawal. In fact and in law and in life if you agree to do something for a "friend" who is in hospital and knows who ill you were would you believe it your fault because of they CHOOSE to take money out of your bank account.

Say I hand you £100 and you run off with it. Is it my problem for trusting you or can't you be trusted after you told me you would take that money buy me my shopping and bring it back with my change.
