I pointed out to you if it was the other way round I would be slagging her off similarly.
Time and time again you make the mistake of presuming that everyone has the same life experiences as you.

Universal credit is hilarious. They decided we needed just £230 a month to pay all our bills, buy food, and save enough money so that when I went back to work I'd be able to afford to. Bearing in mind I had just come out of hospital after being in a coma for 24 days, and in hospital having my bowel removed, it was less than helpfull.
As for IPSE who have still not even responded to my request to see if I could claim. No idea why I'm paying for them if I'm honest... Only been 13 months I guess. Maybe they are short staffed.
I absolutely get the system, UC is brilliant if you are working the same system, if you are prepared to work it and claim for everything you believe you are entitled to, but if you have worked all your life and have the slightest bit of decency it's frankly hopeless.Last edited by Lost It; 25 November 2021, 13:22.Comment
