Beating the Department of Wankers and Parasites at their own game

On the 20th Jan this year I kicked out my drug using and dealing son who was down as my carer. At the beginning he was just that my carer, but by the time I kicked him out he was anything but a carer, so often he would ask me for money saying keep the carers allowance until I have paid you. Like a fool I often gave him the money or paid his car repair bills, even his insurance and road tax, one year paying out nearly £900 without a penny being paid back. 

I knew something was up near the end because I would get up and the fridge would have been raided, loaves of bread eaten, alcohol consumed, and through the night he had his bedroom full of people who just, I assume, helped themselves to whatever they could get their hand on. 

He even bought himself a dog 

I started by putting 5 simple rules on his bedroom door 

1. I go to bed they leave
2. No helping yourself to stuff (this was for the people he had in)
3. Be in for meals or go without

I forget the other 2. He even tried to abuse those simple rules saying he thought they meant him as well! Was he fucking stupid or what? He went out and would leave the puppy with the other dogs and I was left to clean up after it and take out 3 dogs, now down to one as the other died, and the puppy pulled the flooring up and chewed it, it went that day before he got back. It took just another two weeks before he went again asking for more money and my ever decreasing bank account was getting low, not excessively but getting to the point where I would have lost 1% interest on the money in the bank. I told him no but he kept on asking for the money saying he owed people it, after a day of him asking I told him no and if he asked one more time he was out. Well less than an hour passed and he asked again so as I said he went, he tried to hit me but my aggression towards him meant he went with little fuss, he knew he had gone too far. He returned the next day for a letter saying I had kicked him out so he could say he was homeless and apart from a week later that is the last I saw of him. I changed the locks and when he tried to get in he couldn't so he left.

Now to get down to how I beat the DWP. 

On the 22nd I checked the bank account before going to bed and the carers allowance had gone in so I made a note and stuck it by the PC and went to bed it simply read notify CA of son not been my carer any more.

In the morning I got up and took the dog out then booted up the PC then went to make a drink. while the kettle was boiling I made a search for a contact email for carers allowance, I found it then made my drink of tea and put it next to the PC then opened the email and copied the address into the box and the subject as Son no longer my carer.

I put in a short email that he the son, and his name, was no longer my carer as I had kicked him out and if they sent me an account number and sort code I would transfer it back to them. I also inform the ESA place I want them to pay me the severe disability premium as I now live alone and as I receive income based ESA an entitled to the payment added to my ESA. Next Sunday before bed I check again and again another payment of CA has gone in, they obviously cannot read or the email address was one that is only read occasionally by them, so I get their phone number and set my number to withhold caller ID then make a note to call them after taking the dog out. 

That Monday morning I call them and they say it shouldn't have gone into my account so I start on them saying he was a drug dealer and user and he had it into my account so he could pay me the board and I take the rest out and pay him cash. I also tell them if they send any mail here for him it will be sent back with not at this address on it. Again they try to say I should keep hold of it for him to which I say not a fucking chance it comes straight back and I did just that put it back in the post with NOT AT THIS ADDRESS on it. I then start waiting for the increase in my payments, namely the SDP, but it doesn't happen so the beginning of March I send them an email entitled NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROSECUTE giving them 14 days from the 6th of the month as I sent it on the Friday evening and stating that on the 21st I would start court proceedings. Come the Sunday 19th I forget to check the bank and Monday morning, the 20th, I get a letter from the DWP thinking it is their third party parasite company, Maximus or CDHA, as they like to use calling me for an assessment I go to the the county court page to download the papers then suddenly remember the letter said DWP not Mximus or CDHA, so I open it and find they have paid me over £300 into my account, taking me just over the limit for money in savings. Well I quickly go to a cashpoint, just near the supermarket, well as quick as my legs will let me, 25 minutes for a 2 tenths of a mile round journey, boy am I getting slow in my old age, I draw out the over the limit amount. Then Thursday they Put in another £330+ I draw the £300 and spend the rest on shopping.

And that is how you beat the DWP! You know you should be paid the money and they simply refuse or reply asking you to contact them by phone. I would never contact them by phone because all they do is lie and log it as a call and nothing about the contents of the call.

In my notice of intention I sent them a copy of every email and reply, including headers, so they knew they were beat, they just held the money until the last minute, they might have even gone and got my bank records again so they could put me over the savings limit but now I know how those wankers operate I will beat them every time, because if you go over the limit you have a set time to get back to that limit, normally before your next payment for that benefit so you could be £550 over and due another payment in 7 days but because you get 28 days to use the PIP money and the same with any other benefit classed as income you are only classed as having it as savings after the next payment of the benefit.

The best advice I can give anyone is get a safe for any money you have above the limit and keep it in that the only downfall is when they change the notes or coins you would have to keep putting money in the bank and withdrawing the same amount in the new notes and that would be suspicious activity on a regular basis, like daily or every other day. Hopefully by 2021 all the conversions will be done so that should be that for some time.
