Mam sadly gave up her life on 26 August, following 9 days of the best hospital care she has ever had.
Unfortunately I'm left like a hamster on a wheel - running like the clappers and getting no-where fast.
First of all I never knew you had to pay a sizeable deposit (£900 - £1000) up front for the funeral. Money I just didn't have - Social fund only pay out AFTER the funeral, same with the piddly little insurance policies. Rules on pre-paid plans have changed - they're no longer classed as savings - this was not publicised, but seemed to come into being at the same time as funeral directors started demanding the deposit up-front.
Council are playing up about tenancy - we were joint tenants, but due to this "bedroom tax" lark they're playing up about giving me the tenancy, saying I'm unlikely to get a job before April!!!!
So at the moment I'm still having to plough on trying to get ev erything sorted before I even start looking for a job.
Thanks for listening to my witterings! Just needed to off-load!
