Warning: may create rage
You couldn't make this **** up
Governmental dept DWP have decided in the wake of all the wrong decisions they make which has been proven by courts, inquests etc that they are going to change the colour of their envelopes from brown to white, so people won't be so scared of it when it comes through the door.
I kid you freaking not! Its not the bloody colour of the envelope that terrifies them! Its the contents cos of all the wrong uncaring decision making, based on non qualified, uncaring, power crazy, stats and budgets performance based from the government down to the assessors
The stats overturned at appeal average 68%. Yes that's 68 in every hundred which shouldn't be in that position in the first place. That's not a few percent. That's two thirds of all claiments appeals
FYI: Unclaimed benefits and overpayments/fraud. Read carefully and let it sink in.
Unclaimed benefits: 22 billion a year
Over payments and fraud: 4 billion a year
That's 18 billion credit
Disclaimer: Not all assessors and D.M's are like this however they are few and far between that are good at what they do.
Assessors and DWP staff given two days training and a manual to go off and make decisions that fit in the DWP box. Newly employed are mainly under 25 do they can pay less in minimum wage.
Nothing changes, if nothing changes. Yes we live in a country where we have this however its all relative and the most vulnerable are paying the price for this government austerity and hitting the charities and vulnerable the hardest.
Watch out for white envelopes folks cos they going to make you feel better
It's a bit like Jacob Rees Mogg "Happy fish"
