Ok this is a difficult post to write, I don't expect any sympathy because lets face it, when you are on Universal Credit you forgo any finer feelings that you may have had, as an employed person.
I am on Universal Credit at the moment. The amount of hoops I am having to jump through just to receive my payment this month, is deeply distressing. Because I forgot to fill in details of my earnings, my payment has not come through. I mentioned this at the dreadful visit to the Job Centre today. The woman behind the perspex barrier, said that I needed to complete certain things in my "to do list." When I returned home, I logged in and did what was required. I still don't know if I will be paid.
Why do I get the feeling that these Job Centre employees, enjoy watching people squirm and suffer?
Really difficult to cope with right now. I feel like the lowest of the low, any dignity I had is rapidly disappearing. But hey, that is the aim of the game isn't it?
