I'll be honest and say I am becoming more sure this is a wind up. But, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt for the time being. OP, what are you hoping to gain from this thread? As I see it, you don't really want any advice, or you certainly don't want to take it on board. We cannot say whether you will ever work or not - we can only point out things that may help. This thread is on the verge of going round in circles - we...

Maybe it's me! but I thought change like this should be made public more clearly. i.e. Print in Newspapers etc and through the media. Until I read your story, I had never heard these changes. How many others like me who rely on monies coming through on a certain day and made arragements like standing orders. This now means I have to go and change every thing or get nasty letters saying I haven't...

You should be checking your award notices anyway.
Errors can happen and if spotted on your award notice can be sorted immediately.
Glad you got things sorted.

It seems pretty pointless to have to fill it in, but it would be best to contact them and explain the situation and see what they say.

Do you have your P60's for tax years 06/07 and 07/08? That should tell you how much NI you have paid. I can't remember the amount of the top of my head, but will look it up if no one knows it shortly!

Hi Everyone
Two problems here so i will list them in order of urgency
1. After nine years in the same job i was made redundant. I didn't bother claiming benefit immediately as i was convinced i would find another job easily, but after six months nothing had turned up and my savings were exhausted so i made a claim. I was awarded £64 a week for Jobseekers allowance. Today i received a ...

Unfortunately you need to wait for them to contact you and explain it.
If they withdrew £4127 and then paid it in again as you say above, that would leave you at £0.....not overdrawn. Maybe you could phrase it in a different way?

Evening,
When you telephone tax credits they will need to know if the JSA is income based or based on your partner's national insurance contributions. This will be on the award letter for JSA.
If it is income based they only need the start date
If it is contributions based you will need to work out how much he will get in this tax year - as it is a taxable benefit.
You will also give ...

They may send a letter requesting proof of income and they will send you a letter once they have settled the enquiry. Did you explain to the officer what has happened? x

He can only claim IS if the children live with him.
You can claim tax credits towards the cost of childcare, then you can both work.

You should discuss going back to work with your CPN/Mental Heath worker.

I doubt you'll be able to claim anything - your income is too high for tax credits and there's nothing else I can think of that she can claim.
You are right - she will lose income support as your income is counted.

When you leave a job voluntarily you can have your claim sanctioned for up to 26 weeks. However each case is different and a "decision maker" decides on the actual sanction.
It sounds like this is what has happened.
I would go sign on anyway (to get the help) and ask to appeal.

I'm sure some people with far more knowledge will tell you.
But your going to have to declare all this... you can't put it to one side and go back to it later. - sorry

Why are you livid? If you hadn't been entitled to MA then you would automatically go on to IS.
You will get MA and then when that runs out move on to IS - you won't and never would have got both.

I don't think theres any way to avoid paying it I'm afraid. You can dispute it I suppose, don't know how far you would get after all you called them and advised them that the cash was not yours.
It would probably be best to set up a payment plan with them, they will take into account what you can afford etc and take it from there.

Due to posts which appear to attack rather than answer the question I have removed the post. Thanks to those who took the time to read the post and pass on relevant information.

Assuming you live in Nottinghamshire, yes it is pretty normal! You could call the JCP to check that there are no problems (as you are still getting paid, there shouldn't be), but I know the delays are pretty bad at the moment.
