I honestly love your attitude towards it all Catherine, its admirable , I wish I could be as strong as you , I'm waiting for a reference from Survivors UK to see a Councillor and hopefully it might help , but as you know 6 sessions of seeing someone doesn't sort out decades of issues , you're definitely one of the good people and I understand your comments :) hopefully , I'll get a few people on board with me as well, you've been lovely xxx

Morning .. I am feeling really anxious. I should not read the papers but I can't help it. It looks like unless this government is toppled... I am not sure . They will force people to work regardless. I hope all is scaremongering and nothing else.... But I am scared. Why don't they reduce their exorbitant salaries and leave the sick alone..

Morning folks. Sorry to hear people are struggling with the upcoming news, I know it's not easy.
We do have a discussion here for everyone to join in with. I think it's best we keep any talk of potential benefit changes there, so people who don't want to read about it have safe spaces to talk about other things. I hope that's ok?But please know we are doing our best and once the information is out, we'll give a statement.

Morning all I hope yous have a good day it’s chilly here but I will be going a walk to my mums soon.
I’ve been cutting down and trying to move more I’ve lost just over a stone but got a few more to go lol@Albus_Scope
Hi I hope your doing well today.
I’m glad you’ve suggested benefit posts stick to the threads that have already been made, it’s on most of our minds but I’m trying to distract myself from it all.
I hope everyone can get through the day and we will know more tomorrow look after yourselves.@luvpink
Glad you had a great weekend and happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️ to you and everyone else.@Sandy_123
Oh roll on the warmer weather it definitely makes you feel better.❤️

It's a very stressful time for so many people, but it's important people can voice their views on that discussion. But we are keeping an eye out for those who may need some extra support.
But that discussion isn't this discussion, so let's try and keep the usual happy vibes going in here. I think we could all use some. 😊1 -
@Catherine21 , As suggested by @Albus_Scope see you in the discussion forum to discuss this further. Hope your day has gone well so far . I’m had some blood’s this morning & heading shortly for some Knee injections at my local GP surgery 😊

Got my new council tax bill
Doesnt seem. Right to me
Last year I only paid pounds a month and 7 pounds previous year
I. Get discounts due to live alone and disability
So why does my bill say 70 pounds a month?
And that's a discount
I'm. Appalled
I. Tried several times to get through to the council on the phone. In a queue. After 1 hour on hold I gave up
So I emailed them
Had anyone else got a wrong bill

@Amberpearl I got a bill for nearly £400 for December to March, after migrating to Universal credit. I sent an email to the council tax address on the bill, I then realised I had to contact the council tax benefits. I ended up writing to the benefits office and the council tax office, I sent my evidence of all the benefits I have. I sent proof of my disabilities. I explained why I was writing to them, and asked if they could reasses my claim..
I then received a copy of the original bill again, with the same amount owing. Then I also receieved a bill dated a day after showing I was entitled to full tax benefit and i didn't owe anything.
I've kept both of the bills, as the bill showing the nill amount is dated a day later.
Ive been keeping my fingers crossed, that this year's council tax bill is not going to show any high payments owing.
I think it's always important that if you think they have made a mistake, challenge it and follow up on it, if you don't hear back from them within two weeks. I think sending an email or writing in to the council tax office and the council tax benefits is better as you have proof of contact. I sent my paperwork by royal mail, signed for. Kept the receipts with the bill and kept notes on all the contact I'd had with them.
