I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Oh amazing, I'm a new claim so this will help me clear some outstanding debt, feel bad now as I doubted my friend 😥

Try not to feel bad @diddydi1968 it can be really difficult to know for certain with these things, and now you know, you can thank your friend for their advice
It's positive to hear that this will help ease some of the financial pressure you're feeling. Do you feel like you're managing things money wise at the moment, or do you need any support?Online Community Coordinator

I never pay any attention to the views of friends on benefits and taxes; I wait until I get it from the horses mouth (and I don`t mean Mr Ed, the talking horse ) -
