Can I just ask a straight forward question for a Monday morning,

Has anyone known the UK benefits system to be as confusing as it is right now?

Yes - its always been more confusing compared to now. I believe successive government’s have / are simplifying the benefit system (as can be seen by the diminishing size & number of volumes of Sweet & Maxwell year on year - always a good visual aid when meeting Ministers / DWP offiicals etc).

Congratulation Martin you win the prize (unicorn egg) for the 1st re: S&M - maybe you’ve been on the same stuff as Dan? You both really must pay more attention to what you are told to believe.
