I found myself in the horrible position of having to claim benefits due to my recently losing job.
I received a call from somebody about claim for council tax benefit part today. The caller asked to speak to 'Lisa' said he was calling from such-and-such department but didn't give his own name. Continued to call me by my first name throughout.
Also asked which school my dcs went to "for their records" which I did give but feel it was not relevant and I'm cross that I was made to feel I had to, even though I don't wish to try and claim 'school related' benefits like free meals, uniforms etc
Aibu or do I just have a chip on my shoulder because of embarrassment at present financial circumstances.
