Tax credit and free school meals

Just wondering before I go and embarass myself whether if you are on tax credit, your children may be entitled to free school meals, its just that it does add up to a fair amount each week.Blush

The Labour Government CLOSED local offices in our region.

DHSS had offices and Job Centres had their own offices. It was NOT joined up services.

Few public services are perfect Lucinda.

If you want to and are capable of work then be proactive and do something about it. Stop bleating.

For me, I've met Lucinda before. And all too often deal with variants of him in my job.

So I can see that he has his fixed position, and has invested too much time, effort and far too much of his personality in maintaining that that position for him to ever consider that he is now being given excellent advice.

Yes the labour government did close Some offices...some sensible closures and some stupid closure.

I went on Strike to protect the public.
As for different offices- yes true. However the cost of acquiring a new building is prohibitive.

Have you considered joining a user forum at all Lucinda?

LucindaCarlisle · 13/10/2010 22:03

can you suggest any user forums?

onadietcokebreak · 13/10/2010 22:08

You are very selective about your answers Lucinda

You can ask your local jobcentre manager to consider setting one up. You could speak to your MP about them having one.

Its posters like this (LC) that make me wish I had an ignore button.

Serious hope the OP isnt upset about the hijack on her post and found the inital few posts useful before bitter lucinda came on.
