Well went to CAB last Friday, where we actually found out what had happened, where the CAB rang on my behalf. In their wisdom they stopped my payments when I turned 60. They admitted that I am entitled, but because they have now closed the record, I must now make a new claim. Which they are unlikely to back date the 3 months + to my birthday. Result I have lost 2 and a half months money.
Gets better, they now want all their money back 1200+, and on only 800 a month take home, that will be interesting. Oh well see if I can get back to CAB, cos I just can not cope with all this. My head is in a bad enough mess as it is.
