There is once piece of advice I would give to anyone that has fallen on hard times and needs to claim benefits, only put in your claim when you are absolutley skint. This will ensure you receive benefits but the (at least) 3 month waiting time for the morons in Basildon (my case) to make a decision will no doubt f*ck you over anyway. However, I’d rather be f*cked for 3 months than indefinately.
You see, being an honest guy and having never claimed any benefits before in my life is no excuse for being an idiot. F*cking honest John here turns up with 8 large left in his company bank account and they think I shot the f*ucking Sherriff. I’d been tipped off about the 3 month waiting time, my job prospects were looking dimmer by the day and my company was hearmoraging money like it was Christmas and I thought…….get in early, be completely transparent….they’ll understand……did they f*ck.
My entire time in the Southend Jobcentre has been a nightmare, re-lived every fortnight, interrogated by a dickhead called Ian, who feels it is absolutely necessary to treat his ‘customers’ like dogs. Although, if I were as ugly as him, I’d be pretty pissed off too.
So, I recieved a phone call today informing me that my request for an overturn of the Basildon complex decision makers decision had been declined because I have money in my account. ‘F*cking where?’ I said…….She said, ‘you have 8 large in your account’ or words to that effect. I said, ‘I did in f*ucking July, its now nearly November’……anyway, to cut a long and miserable conversation short, they only consider any application for benefits at the time of the application. If you had money then, you have money now! and don’t even think about sending them up to date statements and stuff, they throw them away. They really do throw them away because they had a letter of complaint that I wrote, but conveniently not the current bank statements that were in the same f*ucking envelope.
Oh, and did I mention that if you’re rejected for Jobseekers allowance, you’re also rejected for Housing benefit? Well, you are, check f*ucking mate.
To summarise, when I heard I could claim benefits and how much I was entitled to, I couldn’t help wondering why there are so many people living on the streets but now I’ve been rejected of any benefits in what is a horrible system, unfair to anyone of integrity and lacking of any common sense or discretion, I now understand why people are homeless in this country. I’ll probably soon be joining them.

hey very good little blog site you have there
I use the exact theme on mine yet for whatever cause it would seem to reload more rapidly on your blog eventhough this site provides a little more content material. Are you currently applying any kind of plug ins or widgets which will speed it up? Do you think you could possibly display the programs so that I can use these in my internet site so twilight breaking dawn followers could watch twilight breaking dawn online trailers and videos more easily I’d be ever so grateful – thanks in advance
