i have been overpaid income support 6000 and housing benefit 8000 and council tax 2000 i have been put on a curfew for three months and i have a 12 month suspended sentence from the courts. i am unable to pay this amount back as i cannot afford to my partner now works and we recieve child tax credits we pay full rent and council tax and if i agree to make a payment it will take years to pay this amount back. i feel that my three children will suffer and go without such things as holidays, christmas birthdays school trips etc. i am so stressed about this whats the best thing i can do to help my family out of this situation
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. – Ulysses S. Grant
