checked my bank acct today and because im crap at looking at it, usually don't check for ages which is terrible i know and noticed that dwp have stopped my benefit(is), called them up and they said that it was because i hadn't notified them of my change of address. ive been living in my new place for 4 months now and contacted them as soon as i moved in, they sent me out the change of address which im sure i filled in but they said i didnt and this is why they have cancelled my payment. they said i would now have to reapply. i then asked them would i get my payments backdated to which they replied 'you should do', what i dont get is that they cancelled the payments without notifying me, no correspondence to my previous address (i have my mail redirected from there) or my current one. Has anyone else had a similar problem. Sorry to have warbled on but the woman i spoke to made me really irate as she was totally useless every question i had she replied to with a generic answer.

by law single, not married and not cohabiting. im better off as a single mum than cohabiting. am with cs dad but cant bear living with him have tried and he comes over as much as poss but i like my independence. does that sort of make sense. also when i was living in brighton i was on my own throughout my entire pg and for the initial few months after having him moved back to middx as family were here and now regretting my decision.

if youre single ive found that money issues get sorted out a lot quicker, unless its because i ring up constantly and normally im very tearful down the phone because of the stress it causes

the people on the other end of the phone havent got a clue about how much worry it is to be short of money when youve kids to clothe and feed

i couldnt live with a man ever again, id like to be in a relationship where you have houses next door to each other and when you get on you can visit loads and when youve got pmt you can forget it!

7s im the same i don't want to sound like a madwoman but i get v irate, not nasty just irate. When they speak to you like crap and as though you were born yesterday it makes me angry. Once when i was on the phone to housing ben i lost it completely, i must have sounded like i was having a breakdown but they were telling me that i would have to survive on what they were giving me and tough s**t. i started getting quite upset and had to put the phone down. in the end my dad came with me for support and we went to the council and it got sorted.

7s you've got it down to a tee. that woudl eb perfect for me. my aunt is with her dss dad, but she there's no way she could or even would live with him. she never has and never will. she lives just off old street and he's in holborn so not far from each other and it works v well.
