I had a message on the journal to say I have a compliance interview in a few weeks and to upload one bank statement. I did that and in the early hours of a Sunday morning I get a message that their records show I get ESA and this effects the amount of UC I get.
I know and they know I get it because I was merged over from ESA. What I didn't know was that I would get ESA NS and it would be deducted. But they've been deducting it from day one of my claim in June.
I am really annoyed that they have sent a message on ak weekend when clearly I can't do anything about it. And I still don't know if this interview is going to mean they've messed up the amount I should get.
It's a week before Christmas and I simply don't need this stress when the claim was actually straightforward. I have actually only had the "correct" amount for two cycles as the HB claimed they had overpaid and my benefit was reduced for four months to pay that back. ( The letter saying my HB claim was closed was fantastic as they've been a pain in the neck for years with letters that make no sense whatsoever! And at one point according me off owning a second property and sending me double council tax)
Never ever ever, have your council tax on a direct debit. They would have put me into debt if they had just taken thousands because they don't pay it back they take it off your next bill!!!!
Anyone else want to rant as well, join in
Because I can't think of what to reply to journal, they already know I get ESA because I was merged over??
