Emeritus Prof Christopher MayThe DWP demonstrating (again) they are callous & inhumane.
unpaid carers should be cherished & values, not punished....
How do the people who work at the DWP live with themselves?
Nic@ChrisMayLA6 they should learn from the more co-operative approach taken by the HMRC in cases of major & corporate tax fraud
indeed... one might even suspect there was a class issue here....
NatalyaD@ChrisMayLA6 @nicbest sadly if you are a normal person HMRC are even worse than the DWP. I know, I've dealt with both and sued HMRC in the end for disability discrimination 11 years ago now and tax credits were just as awful as this carer stuff.
The DWP are dreadful, wasting lots of resource over small mistakes/misunderstandings and hold investigations over people for months or years and with disabled claimants, don't meet their access needs.
DWP needs dismantling completely and something new.
Jen@NatalyaD @ChrisMayLA6 @nicbest I had child tax credits for a while. It was awful.
It was on me to make sure it was calculated right, but it was impossible to know because they never said how it was worked out. I ended up paying back a couple of times (thankfully small amounts) but I never understood why.
