    This sounds like someone’s parents than a government agency… They appeared to not cared about the context either…

    >She was asked by the DWP to provide her last three bank statements – which she said she had already downloaded and sent – but it told her it had not received them. The DWP has since apologised .

    Reminder to read the article not just the headline

    This all too often happens.

    All too often, DWP/ JCP ESA (Disability) and PIP applications made by disabled and chronically sick are wrongly rejected.

    This is all very symbolic of the rotten, stinking culture that exists within the DWP and JobCentrePlus…

    Not defending DWP at all (I used to work for them so very aware of how things work) but the article doesn’t say if she actually raised this with anyone at DWP. Mistakes do happen and (at least when I left a few years ago) 99% of these systems / decisions etc were automated.

    >She receives just over £1,000 a month in Universal Credit which covers the £722 rent for her Platform Housing Group ground-floor flat and is used for other bills and living expenses. She also receives £900 a month in Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

    £1900 a month, tax free! Plus all the other bonuses that come with UC like reduced council tax etc. Lots of jobs she could do without walking.

    I still remember my mums capacity for work meeting, it had to be at home as she’s bed bound, the very nice lady walked in took one look at my mum and went for fucks sake, I can’t believe they actually sent me! I think they permanently signed her off from having them because this was years ago! From what I’ve seen they always punish those who actually need it and the ones that play the system seem to get away with it.
