Thanks… however I misread slightly… it’s a compliance interview to discuss change of circumstances… though how her circumstances/entitlement could change at 90+ is a whole other cup of tea!
Okay – I’ve changed the article a bit to reflect that. It’s still bad that she’s been asked to attend, after all.
Thanks- and exactly!
Hey, they have to help the Royal Mail stay in business somehow. Sending out futile, pointless letters for the postman to deliver is a real brainwave.
Of course it could be a leak of intended policy for after the election. Oi plebs, back to work…
Hi mike are you not sending articles by email anymore or have I done something wrong to to stop you sending them? If so I really apologise!!!
It’s an automated process that I don’t touch. Have you accidentally unsubscribed?
No I wouldn’t have done that, your emails brighten every day, I really miss beasts site as well. getting emails makes it a little more personal and I feel connected, I suffer with post traumatic stress disorder so I am less connected and alone!
Thank you Mike!

If they take the pension away from a 90+ old grandmother, it’ll ricochet right back on the DWP.
She isn’t paid by Jobcentre Plus, she’s paid by the Pension Service, as I am. The only thing that could have put her at risk from JC+ is if she was paid DLA, but that (currently) finishes at age 64. Anyone receiving a pension and/or Pension Guarantee Credit shouldn’t have any business with JC+. As PGC is means tested any unreported income could be construed as benefit fraud, but again, any investigation surely would have to be instigated by the Pension Service.
