After more than 18 months of uncertainty, and a lot of worry about whether I could be made homeless, all due to our lovely Government deciding that, as I had a Private Pension, I was no longer eligible for certain State Benefits, I believe I've actually got things sorted at last! (haven't quite got to grips with the realisation yet!)
Basically, even though I had been informed that, as I am disabled and unable to work full time, I could take my Pension early, without affecting any disability or incapacity Benefits, especially as half of the Pension goes to my ex wife and daughter, the 'new' Government decided to change the rules, and really stuffed me.
Today, I've had two letters from different but related Government departments, one stating that due to my disability I am now in the 'Supported Group', and can once again claim help with Rent and Council Tax, and that I will also have an increase in benefit,and another informing me that I have now been moved to the next level up for Disability Living Allowance, another benefit increase.
So, not only is the immediate and pressing problem solved, but I also get more dosh!
Cheered up?
I'm like a dog with two d*cks !!!
Understand that I am in no way advocating armed rebellion but there is a great article in the Aug VFW Mag about a town in Tenn, in 19466, where the vets took up arms and changed a corrupt government.
This is why the 2d Admin. is so important.
