Phew glad it was something simple and hope their eyes (and noses

) are free of the infection soon

About time too!!!!! I remember when my DLA was stopped at 16 (parents claim it til then) and it took them til August to sort out their bloody mess which meant I had a back payment of about £700-800. DREADING them taking me off it and trying to get PIP next year. Well that's when the next round of people start and I'm in it

Makes me so mad. A couple people who have committed suicide because of their benefits being witheld & the bedroom tax issues have made the news and lived a short drive away from me.
