DWP Strike again..

As if I haven't got enough on my plate as it is...

I checked my bank account this morning to make sure my benefits have been deposited and they have...but they are down by over £60!
There has been no explination for this, so this means I have to call them up and find out what in blue Hell is going on.

I really do not need this right now, with mom being in hospital and having to look after Charlie and Gypsy....more on this I guess when I have made the phone call.

**UPDATE** Well, after making 3 phone calls I finally got to the bottom of this. What used to happen was that Income Support and DLA used to be paid together, but now they are payed serpeately. My DLA is now paid a month in arrears and I will not get that payment now until 4th March, and it is now monthly. I have no issue with seperate payments (in a lot of ways it is a good thing) but a bit of communication would have been nice...apparently they will send me a letter explaining what they have done a week or before before my next payment...would it have been so difficult to have done it BEFORE they decided to do this? Bloody muppets.
