Tbf as a so-called first world country, our Government should be trying to help everyone.

I get what you're saying, but I don't like the treatment that people that don't work can receive, especially considering the number of people that are in that position is getting higher and higher.

I don't doubt that there are genuine cases.
But they don't help people to get jobs.
They just throw money at them like the problem would magically disappear.
Same as the pip awards. They're so easy to get no wonder some people are milking the system.

LT has been milking TIBBs award system for ****ing years. We all still love him, so dont you worry what anyone says about that.

Personally if people are milking the system then good for them.

Imo the MP's hoard far too much of the money to themselves, they're the reason why people like you Vanessa are struggling to get the money that you're entitled to, plus having a better minimum wage.

And half of these MP's don't just do **** all, but are also corrupt, evil bastards.

That's true. MPs get far too much money. Maybe I should go into politics

My bank says the account in question is not a Lloyds account.
Going to TSB to ask if it's theirs.
What a mess.

Really ! Well that was not the case here - my sadly now deceased partner had to jump through hoops and degrade himself in front of a panel to get his PIP claim after 18 long months.

Aw sorry to hear that.

Neither Loyds bank or TSB have any record of me having other accounts apart from the ones I already know.
This is just bizarre

and this is what you tell the housing people they have obviously made a mistake, tell them you have been to both banks and neither is holding a second account for you, did you get anything in writing from either bank?

No. They both said I've never had an account with that number.

…and they’re not able to see which bank the account is at, then…they must have some details there to say that you have that account so if they said which bank it was at, it would mean that you’d know where to investigate it at…?..

Well you're already better than Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, so I'm up for the idea of PM Vanessa.

This.

Plus the Government are able to access bank accounts if you're on benefits so why make our Ness go through this when they could look at the account themselves. Pffft.

They do it to put people off ours was 3rd appeal for PIP seems there's no rhyme for reason for decisions and their denial excuses are a joke.
