apple, don't think for a minute I don't appreciate your posts because I do, I really do 😀 BUT..
Lisa Nandy certainly is a decent one but charities are answerable to The Charity Commission who are in the pay of our government so charities cannot bring government into disrepute. There is a limit to what they can do on our behalf.
I did like Wes Streeting in opposition but believe he's in the Reeves/Kendall camp.
McDonnell described the 2016 welfare reforms as "social murder" and was slated for it. As former Shadow Chancellor (2015 to 2020), he's very likely to speak out against this budget and would make an excellent W&P Secretary.
I think with so many people blaming Keir Starmer for the chaos, he will - when he's not trying to stall WW3 - put on his prosecutors cap and pull up the sneaky, dishonest ministers.

Good afternoon @apple85, I'm sorry but I actually am not sure what the significance of the date is. If you're worried about posting it publicly and want to check if it's appropriate, would you send me a private message explaining a little bit more so I can look into it?

Considering the hoops you have to jump through and the endless lengthy phone calls with assessors who don’t listen, then having to endure the indignity of mandatory reconsideration, all compounded by a system more interested in tick boxing; doesn’t this government think we have already had enough anxiety and stress?

Hello @Catherine21
If someone regularly withdraws large amounts of cash they may ask what it is being spent on, in case you are saving it up and not declaring the savings. As long as you do not have over the savings limit, it is not a concern of the DWP what you spend your money on.

what would count as a large amount?

Oh thankyou I spend money on face creams I don't withdraw I do online but I do squander I can't help myself I've had couple of payments from changes of law from dwp and I know that's OK for a year and was under 6 grand you just feel guilty like you done something wrong so I got payment February this year for dwp change of law 5 thousand 8 hundred I've transferred to my daughter to hold onto so I don't spend but she's not my appointee I should transfer back to mine ?

I don't believe there is a set amount that raises suspicion @Faithlong

I imagine a one off £2000 would not cause them to look as much as £200 4 times a week
