So, apparently, I’ve moved house

Got up this morning to check for mail and I discovered that I had recieved a letter from the housing benefits people.

Imagine my shock when I opened it to discover that my housing benefit was being suspended due to the fact that I have moved.

So, off I went to Middlesbrough House to speak to them about it. After waiting about an hour, I finally got to speak to someone. (The wait is normal for that place. i always make sure I take a book with me to read when I need to go there.

Turns out that when my new housemate moved in, he said on his application that he was the only person living in the house. So, I informed them that I do still live there and they’re going to try and change it.

I’m not holding my breath over that one (remembers that last year it took them 2 months to start actually paying it. I’m still paying off the difference to my landlord).

Bonus points for the fact that the person I spoke to bursting out laughing and saying it was funny. Maybe for you but, y’see, my landlord actually likes recieving rent for me. So, when that’s cut off, I tend not to find it too amusing.

Update on jobcentre thing from last entry: i went in to speak to them about it and they admitted that they forgot to put me onto the system to get the call. Then they admitted it was their fault. Which did actually stun me.
