HMRC more frustration. no wonder people top themselves.

Less than one minute read time.

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.
