not really benefits , but thought this was the best place.
since dad passing on just over 5 weeks ago , we have had great support from the local council and giving us the news we will not be evicted from the house , they will infact come to us to sign a joint tenancy.. ( so far no housing officer has been ) and we were told they would be in 2 weeks.
life insurance companies being a pain ( mainly one ) who said they are ready to pay up and will do so when they have the final paperwork they demand with bank staff name , worker number etc... well they have still not paid and they have had the paperwork for 2 weeks.
anyway i digress slightly.
Yesterday mum got an extremely thick envelope from local council , she opens it and out comes a squished book worth of Questions.
they want her sort code , account number , want to know ALL her money she gets and wants PROOF of ALL money . mum cant show proof as DWP have not sent any paperwork out to her they just told her across the phone what she is getting and they will pay her weekly to make things easier for her.
then she came across an other page and they demand to know what i get weekly / monthly so mum provides them with the information.
basically the only questions they did not ask were "" what do you spend the money on "" , how much are your bills a month , what bills do you have .
she is now worrying why they want all that personal information.
