No benefits (From Barry And District News)

No benefits

I am writing to you because I am disgusted with the treatment I have had from the Benefits Office. I have not been paid the money I am due for three weeks and I need to pay my rent and eat.

At the moment I am clinically depressed and have to take tablets with food for my illness. I asked for a crisis loan but I was refused one. A few months ago my benefit changed and I owed a few months as a consequence.

I only recently left work because of my problem and I want to return as soon as I am able. But I am living in a hostel and will be thrown out if I do not get the money I am owed to pay the rent.

I also need to give my ex-girlfriend money for my child.

All I ask is to be given the money I am entitled to.
