WeX Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Just wondered how you are so sure, since no-one needs to go to cash any benefits these days, and they are all paid into the bank, unless you have seen him signing on of course, then you would obviously know for a fact. Why would he suspect it was you? Do you have other problems with him? x You still have to report to the Job Centre Plus every two weeks. Its pretty obvious someone is signing on if you see them heading there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Now, when you are as disabled as me ie; Full motability and medium care allowance then you call me a troll. I have heard that free taxis are available especially if you think that the bus station looks a bit rough, then again my mother is in her 80`s, worked all her life and still has to pay for a taxi to get to her day centre. Its amazing what some people manage to claim for now where did I see that post about the free taxi ……… I will give you one guess. All the best with you problems.

Anna B Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This might be off topic, but don't you think with all this encouragement by the government / media to shop our neighbours etc we come closer and closer to a Police State? Ironic really when you think that those at the top have never been so corrupt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirmisher Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You still have to report to the Job Centre Plus every two weeks.
