Hey girls thought I'd start a part 4 before part 3 reaches the limit. Anyone having received a letter from concentric or hrmc telling you they have evidence of you living with another adult please join us with your experiences, comments or support.

Thats right morgan. I can,t imagine how exhausted you must be with it all. We are all here to support you and everyone. Everytime I phone them I have an enormous rant, with all of us in mind and all the injustices I have read on here. X

Morgan97 · 25/06/2015 22:09

Cazzy thank you so much you to 12fedup. I haven't really done anything to be honest but I appreciate all your nice comments. Oh god ill be crying again soon crept I don't think I've any tears left. Cuddles with dd in bed are the best in the world.

Fed up I think a couple of more days and your documents will be signed on. It really is so stressful for everyone. Not even just for us but our children. Trying to cut back just in case its really not a nice way to live. Even though they said my case closed am still doing a massive tesco shop on Saturday with a full months child benefit! Just in case. Because to be honest I don't no them so can't really trust what there saying. And to wait for a letter I could be waiting forever. Am just going to wait on hmrc now.

cazzymog · 25/06/2015 22:22

Ahh bless him. I hope you get the support he is entitled too. My son has aspergers and adhd he is eighteen now. Infant school was the hardest as he was just labeled naughty. Once diagnosed he had support but once got to college support all stopped. I'm trying to get support for him as an adult...not easy but you have to push push push! We all have other stuff to deal with and now this! !!!

12fedup12 · 25/06/2015 22:24

Thanks baby I'm sure your right but you know how this feels, hopefully next time I call I will feel a bit more postive

emilou123 · 25/06/2015 22:29

Exactly cazzymog. This is what I tell them everytime I call.....and god help those people who haven,t got access to sites like this, haven,t got a voice, can,t pick up a phone cos too scared, or are just too fuckin exhausted. Thats why everytime I call I try and put this point across.

12fedup12 · 25/06/2015 22:30

Thanks cazzy, his school just refuse to accept his diagnose and won't do anything to support him he is in year 5 and I am dreading how he will cope with year 6 and all the added pressure of the sats, all this with concentrix I just feel like this has pushed it too far I was coping with the battles of school but all this added stress on top now I suppose there is only so much anyone can deal with!!!
I know I have nothing to worry about but can't help and no one else understands why I am stressed about that's why it is so great to have found you all, you all understand what I am going through x

babyalan13 · 25/06/2015 22:32

Yes hopefully I've been in a right state for weeks over this. Anti depressants sleeping tablets off work! I've been a mess. And a tonne of other horrible stuff going on with my ex. So its all built up. But hopefully we all get through. And the fuckers don't cut are tax credits too much. Apparently there on about cutting housing benefit too so I'll be screwed with everything. I do wonder sometimes about working!! Is it worth it!?

12fedup12 · 25/06/2015 22:35

I think that sometimes but I honestly couldnt be without my work, I love my job and couldn't sit around all day doing nothing, we are setting are children such a good example! I watch these programs that are on TV lately and their attitudes are appalling, I know that's probably the minority but still I need my work

Morgan97 · 25/06/2015 22:39

It be might be an idea if you're still getting your money to do what baby is doing n do a big (sensible) shop with a few treats thrown in then at least you will have meals n stuff.baby I've been thinking the same as you. Better off not working in my case

babyalan13 · 25/06/2015 22:43

I no!! I've been of now over a week and feel even worse!! Between Jeremy kyle and this morning!! Lol but I no now anything I get from work I'll be keeping for future reference. Might get my bank statements sent out monthly! All ready to go for next year. But definitely do a big shop!! I've 4 large packets of nappies coming and 10 packets of wipes!! Lol

Morgan97 · 25/06/2015 22:50

Awwww bless you baby I'm hoping the outcome is good for everyone. I n to get some sleep my eyes feel like someone's pushing them in. Nah nite n good luck everyone x

12fedup12 · 25/06/2015 22:54

I have still been getting my payments, and I will do a big shop also.

Baby I have been so glad of work it's the only time I am not constantly thinking about this, yes while I am there it does cross my mind when on a quick break but that's it, once I am home it is all that's running through my head, that's why I am hoping it is all done with by 17th of July at the latest cos then I'm off work for the summer and really couldn't bear to have this worrying me then!

12fedup12 · 25/06/2015 22:54

Night Morgan, thank you for your kind words and support this evening x

Louby76 · 25/06/2015 23:45

Chrissy... Yours sounds a bit like mine. My daughter is 19 & that is the only thing I can think of??!!!! Surely they can't think that we are in "relationships" with our kids!!!!

Louby76 · 25/06/2015 23:46

This was the signature on mine.. Signed for at 05:53am in Worthing on 29th May!

A letter from concentric part 4!
zolabud81 · 25/06/2015 23:55

That was mine same as Chrissy4321

A letter from concentric part 4!
Chrissy4321 · 26/06/2015 00:59

One guy I spoke to said these checks will happen every year louby76 so If we have a child that reaches 18 and starts applying for anything it will flag us up. Are we supposed to tell them to leave or stay of the radar and don't get a bank account or licence. Madness. And I actually had a laugh at those signatures. They must have been half asleep when signing for them

Chrissy4321 · 26/06/2015 01:01

Louby76 have you not heard anything back yet ??

zolabud81 · 26/06/2015 01:47

Anyone awake I can't sleep this is destroying me

zolabud81 · 26/06/2015 01:49

Anyone wake I can't sleep this is killing me

Louby76 · 26/06/2015 02:32

I'm still awake!! Chrissy I've heard nothing back from them, have tried to call a few times but given up after almost an hour waiting at a time. They are a bunch of idiots. How can something like that flag us up? They are our children! They would know this because up until August last year she was at college & was included in my tax credits!! I just don't know what else it could be. I've not been linked to anyone financially for over 9yrs & the house that I am in now was new when I bought it so no one has been registered here other than me.

babyalan13 · 26/06/2015 07:11

Good luck to any one phoning today xx

Chrissy4321 · 26/06/2015 07:33

Awful that this crap is the last thing we think of before we sleep and again first thing we think of when we wake. They shouldn't be allowed to take this long :/
