A question about : Email address for Job Centre Plus complaints Department please.

Hi

Does anybody happen to have the email address for the complaints department at Job Centre Plus/DWP please?

A question about : Income Support: Christmas Payments

Evening

Is there a way of working out when payments might fall during Christmas? I'd really like to budget for Christmas week as I'm on Income Support due to my health but I'm not entirely sure when they will be paid. I know some are paid in advance but I'm not sure just how far.

A question about : Partner moving in and DLA or not?

I am a mum of 3 and currently live with my children in a privately rented house. I have been on IS and not working for three years now. I would like my partner to move in but we are not sure if we would be worse off as he is working.

A question about : Renting from family and housing benefit

I've found information which says you cannot claim housing benefit if you rent from a close family member that you're living with but I wonder if anyone can help with a more specific case?

I know someone who has a close family memeber who has a property that is uninhabited. Would it be possible to get housing benefit for this property? The landlord would be living in another house.

Many thanks

A question about : Benefits check up guide and tool discussion

Very useful tool but results page a little confusing. It looks as if I could get help with council tax because our non-dependant daughter living with us is on low income. However, there is a qualification that to get this benefit I must be in receipt of the guaranteed pension credit element. In that section it states that I am not eligible, which I accept, but surely the checker should then have negated the possible council tax benefit! Am I missing anything?

A question about : JSA sanction

My daughter has had her JSA stopped two weeks ago because she failed to apply online for a Christmas job at Boots. She had physically taken the form into the store but they refused to accept it from her,so she explained this to the jobcenter people and they told her they would have to consider her benefit and let her know within eight working days, on the ninth one she rang and has been told that she can't get any money for another three weeks, which would make a total of five weeks with no money.
