  1. So I sent the form off last Friday. When am I likely to get a reply, if any?
  2. I already filled it in, but said that ESA was "bank, to me" and HB was "bank, to landlord"
  3. Another thing: When I list benefits received, do I mention the current award of Housing Benefit I get? It's not mentioned on the list of examples of benefits, and it is a review form about Housing Benefit, so I'm not sure if it's required. I've already listed my ESA award.
  4. The form also says that I should send original documents as proof, not photocopies (as far as I can tell). So how do I get them back? I was going to take photos of each page of the documents, just in case they don't return them to me.
  5. I got one of these forms today from the City of Cardiff Council, and I have a few questions about the form itself: 1. In Section 2 - Does anyone else normally live with you and your partner? - I live in a House of Multiple Occupancy where complete strangers move in and out all the time, and I've been told that I don't need to include these other tenants of the landlord's when answering this question, nor filling out their details in the form - can I omit them? 2. In Section 3 - Are you and your partner getting any benefits? - I have been at my current address for 17 years so far and the rent has increased slightly (and when my HB doesn't cover it all, some of my ESA goes towards the rent) but my benefits have remained unchanged (on my side), aside from small rises in line with inflation (on their side), so with the question "Have you or your partner's benefits changed since your last claim", can I say "no"? 3. In Section 8 - Rent - My rent has increased a few times over the years, but I never saw it as a change of circumstances, and I have no idea when the last change was, so what do I say? The rest of the form seems fine for me to fill in, but I'm worrying about anything being seen as a change of circumstances, which might trigger a move to Universal Credit. Will this happen?
  6. My payment of ESA usually goes out every other Tuesday, but will it go out early this Easter? It would be the day after Easter Monday. I'm assuming it will do so, as it's done so before when my payment day falls on a bank holiday, but I just want to make sure. Thanks.
  7. I posted here in March to see if 25 years, or when I turned 50, was when my SLC student loan (taken out 1997) was written off, and it was confirmed to me then. However, I did some googling about it and now they say loans from my time are written off after 30 years, as in (I assume) a change in government policy. Is this true or not? I tried contacting Erudio, but no reply as yet.
  8. If it happened, it was over 15 years ago at least and I didn't keep any records, and I don't think there were arrears of any kind. I just can't remember, it was so long ago.
  9. There was only the one time I didn't fill in the deferment form in time, made a couple of payments and then deferred. It was a long time ago, not sure about the details.
  10. In my last Uni course, I applied for a SLC loan (at age of around 24) on the 13th of January 1997 and it was granted, and I have been deferring it every year since then, except the odd repayment when I delayed it too long. Now I've found out that it could be written off as early as next year, when I turn 50 in September 2022. Is that the case?
  11. I found this one in 15 seconds: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/30/cruel-benefits-sanctions-dwp-job-advisers-evidence-work
  12. I don't have proof, just heard about claims made in articles I've read in the past, and that was for JSA. These articles would be from around 2012 to 2015 online.
  13. No really fair or justified reasons, they just wanted to meet their targets for sanctions is all. Or does that not still happen now?
