DWP Paying me erroniously

  • Thank you Alice_Holt but I find that policy quite disturbing. My last paycheque included nearly £800 of stoppages, a situation which won't improve by me taking money from the taxpayer. I am leagally entitled to keep the £12.5k of taxpayer money that I am currently in posession of but it would have a similar effect. 

    I would consider it more than compensatory if the DWP were taken down and replaced with something capable of doing the job and able to do it without wasting so much money, I realise that this is an idealistic notion but it is not an unreasonable thing to want.

    Once this situation is resolved I intend to find every means available that I can to publicise these events because the only way in which reform can happen is by public mandate, not taking more money away from the system. Taking money out of the system is the same as taking it out of yours and my pocket.

    Ring a paper like the Daily Mail…they would love this account of DWP incompetence.
    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)
