Really angry now and tired of this crap. It is something i do not need when i am ill. Oh and i have no idea how the link to the newspaper article ended up being a video and i cannot edit it for some reason and i can't find the link now.

With the drop in income my finances are already on a knife edge but I would be ok if payments came on the same day every week as I could then work out my budget for the big ticket items - but I'm afraid to touch my bank account as I need to keep what's there in there to cover mortgage, DDs etc as I never know when my payment will actually land. No payment yet for this week - payment for the week before showed up this past Monday. Week before that it was there on a Thursday... My elderly mother buys me enough food for the week when she does her shopping and my dad gives me a few quid to buy incidentals like milk, bread etc. 55 years old, been paying 'stamps' since I was 15 and I'm relying on two pensioners to keep me going. :mad:

My suspicion is there are 'technical difficulties' with people who have just gone monthly - mind you, mine was erratic anyway but at least it usually turned up by the Monday after the week it was due. I was certified up until yesterday. New cert issued today by GP.

Was on hold for a good while on Thursday calling the illness benefit department. Nothing. Call dropped. By then I was so anxious that I couldn't get myself to call again. What would you suggest at this stage? Try to call again? Send an email (don't have their email address)?.... Thanks

I was put on monthly certs 4 weeks ago and this week on Wednesday I have to go pick up my next cert. Since I have been on monthly certs my money has come in on a Wednesday with no problems but I am wondering does anybody know if my money will come in this Wednesday or will it be later in the week because they more than likely wont receive my cert until Friday?
