You know, I can’t help but think the government is incompetent.
Or, at least, capable of inspiring incompetence in others.
The reason I mention this?
I saw a news report, yesterday: that told us many on various illness related welfare payments had been underpaid.
This was being corrected: albeit slowly.
In other news: and going by news on the BBC’s Moneybox programme, those of us claiming Universal Credit, and on weekly pay, could lose their money: and have to reapply, in January.
Apparently? It’s — in part — where some months have five Fridays: and others had four. Friday is payday, so you know. In other words, I’d not get Universal Credit because I have too many paydays, rather than the amount of hours I’m actually working.
I’m weekly paid and on Universal Credit. And worried.
Up until now? Up until now, occasionally, I’ve not been paid by the Benefits in some months because of this.
But then had payments restored, automatically, a month later.
I’m worried: especially if I have to reapply for the thing …
