higgins 75 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The Government has announced new plans to reform the benefits culture,single mothers with children one year old and people on incapacity benefits will be given help to get back into work.Those who do not take up job offers will have to do community work or have their benefits stopped,the aim is to change the mindset of long term benefits claimants and end the benefits culture, Higgins.

Or are they just going to re name whats already in place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mad al 146 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Probably just trying to conceal some feck up if you ask me, I heard about it the radio news and as soon as they mentioned the physio/counseling from the NHS I just wondered where this money was coming from , strange how funds just seem to fall out of the sky when they reckon there's no dosh to be had Quote Link to post Share on other sites

labsnlurchers 39 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Kay, i got overpaid too and refused to pay it. phoned them up and the did an income outgoing assessment over the phone. then they sent out an appeal form i filloed it in and they said ok you dont have to pay it its our fault. It took me about 18 months to get them to say that, everytime they wrote to me saying i had to pay i said no, im on tax credits for a reason and i cant afford to pay the £800 or so you are asking for. Try it, they may find that it was them at fault Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try it, they may find that it was them at fault In the first place i was called by someone saying they were from customs & excize saying they wanted my bank details over the phone to set up a dd to repay money i was over paid I thought at the time it was dodgy as would anyone else, so i rang the tax credit place up & apparently it wasnt dodgy they said i had to pay back 70 quid a week i told them i only picked up 69 quid a week so they left it. not heard anything for 12 months but no doubt they will get it one way or another Quote Link to post Share on other sites
