Yeah that's right but to be fair I never had over 6000 at anyone time in either of them , one of them most I ever had was 2800 and that was gone in hours , other than that it was mostly 2000 overdrawn , the second only ever had a few hundred at any one time so ooooo.....

The two declared ones had 3500 most and that was a back payment so disregarded but gone in hours anyway , and the other only a few hundred at anyone time .... It would uncovered old PayPal's that have been closed for like 4 years but again never 1 had over 6000 at anyone time , same with the bookies accounts and anything else .... Think the most I've ever been is 4800 at anyone time in a singular place or spread out across everything , and that was only hours 🤷.... It's the transactions though , so many ins and outs , winnings and losing z friends lending me and me paying back .... A real Hodge podge ..... It would be a nightmare trying to explain 😖 hopefully maybe I'm worrying a little bit to much

I wouldn't worry as be hard for you to probably remember where and when gambled as it's it's a chaotic addiction if they want to know tell them look for for it as you can't remember. My son was a gambler and know how hard it is, good on you for quitting though 👍

A massive achievement honestly 👍 don't be worrying about things that are out of your control with the closed account your are probably worrying over nothing

Hopefully they haven't got them 🤞

Citizens Advice: Government’s health and disability benefit reforms mean that some of those affected will still be worse off even if working full time

New analysis from Citizens Advice of how the incomes of disabled people would change if cuts to PIP and universal credit were introduced today and those affected were able to move into full-time work:

In many cases, people would see only a small increase in income by working full-time, and in some situations, they could actually end up worse off.

This also relies on the very unrealistic assumption that people currently considered unable to work can suddenly take on a full-time job. For many, part-time work is a more realistic option than full-time employment. But moving into part-time work is more likely to result in a loss of income, and the financial impact is typically much greater.

For example:

a single claimant losing PIP daily living and universal credit health would be £114 per month worse off if they worked full-time, and £359 per month worse off if they worked part-time for 20 hours per week.

a couple claimant where one partner loses PIP daily living and universal credit health, while the other remains in full-time employment, would only gain £112 a month if the partner that lost their benefits worked full-time. And they would be £272 per month worse off if the partner worked part-time for 20 hours per week.

Citizens Advice adds that its findings undermine the government's argument that people will be able to compensate for lost benefits income by taking up paid employment.

I know but I remember her saying it’s sometime in the future. Seems strange to bring in changes all of the sudden. Something I think will change with the 4 point descriptors. Either made harder to get resulting in even less people being eligible or they could make them easier. If they made the 4 point easier they havent climbed down and it may ease the rebellion. If they plan on going ahead and making us all destitute I can’t see the WFA calming the situation down. MPs will still lose their votes from us .

Concessions on WFA and 2 Child Cap are maximum impact minimum pain for the government. The general population can get on board with loving nanas and kids and virtue signalling their outrage when those groups are threatened. It's the cute factor, whereas with the disabled, not so much.

I'm very upset and bitterly annoyed to be honest.

Under these new plans will we still be able to go to a tribunal if needed

If they’re changing the criteria they’re either making it harder to get 4 points or making it easier. If they’re clever they’ll make it easier so if the 4 point descriptors are closer to the 2 point descriptors it’s not a complete climb down and an embarrassment. That’s why they’re raising the threshold for WFA so they climb down to some extent but reeves doesn’t lose face . Please let them do the same for us 🤞🙏

I think it may be a good idea for us to start emailing the Tory’s . We need them to vote against and they need our votes as they’re trailing in the polls . We could use it to our advantage.
