  1. Hi I am hoping someone can help me on here please. I was a single parent claiming ESA and HB, up until december 2010. I got married on 30 October 2010 but the situation was complicated as my husband was a pub manager and therefore had to live on the premises. As this was an unusual situation and i have a 12 year old son i wanted to find out what i should do about my benefits. well its been a nightmare as i have had nothing but hassle off the DWP. My ESA was stopped before this date as i had to go for a medical and the women said that as far as she was concerned i could work! I have many phisical ailments which include a badily scarred arm from a severe dog attack which has left me virtually housebound. I phoned the CAB for an appointment which i couldnt get until the 2 December and they told me to inform the DWP straight away which i duly did. I also had phoned the local council to ask their advice before that and the women laughed and told me not to worry. I paid full rent from the 6 December. which meant that i owed 5 weeks overpayment. i was sent a letter to infom me that i owed them £285 i was then invited for an interview under caution which turned me into a nervous wreck. I got in touch with my local counciler who thought the dwp were being harsh as my husband moved in with me on the 21 Feb and if i wanted to defroud them i would not have told them till that point. I have now recieved a caution, paying the money back and they r taking 40% out of our benefits i feel really sick and ill that they treat everyone the same and they tell lies and get away with it i think i helped them reach their targets but i am so unhappy. my husband did not ahve any post going to my house and was also charged council tax benefit for the pub he managed. I am working on a degree but feel like just giving up.
