COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Can you tell me what there doing wrong so I can fool the system thanks in advance

Haha...that's a "no." ;-)
Seriously though, I'm at the end of my tether dealing with a hard core tiny minority who waste everyone's time when there are genuine people who have never claimed before

Now I’ve got visions of you lurking outside the job centre with a sniper rifle. Please tell me you work for the DSS.

DWP now, but yes

DWP now, but yes

Thanks for confirming. I’ll try to recall my email to PREVENT now.

It is a lot easier to criticise the decisions that have been made. Not quite as easy to make the decisions that need to be made tomorrow.

True,although I think Cheltenham and not having thousands still attending football was fairly obvious to most observers at the time.

None that’s peer reviewable.

Very good :)

I'm sick to bleeding death of people trying to make fraudulent claims in the welfare system. The numbers have increased and they have jumped on the bandwagon since the lockdown.
They are easy to spot for anyone with a trained eye, as they usually follow a similar pattern.
I want to effin scream when I have to waste my time on them.
Rant over.

Ah. You received my mother’s Funeral Payment claim then?

The stats lady seemed to indicate that 9 in 10 directly related COVID-19 deaths occured in hospital. We shall find out tomorrow from the ONS weekly deaths report I guess

I would think she, or someone high up in govt, would be able to access the stats before publication, or at least an indication.

That was correct on the ONS weekly stats up to w/ending 3rd April, as you say tomorrow's ONS stats will be interesting as it will include the current peak date for deaths, 8th April.

Yes four times in 2 years seems a bit excessive

Your mum has died??

See? I have to take you at face value unless I suspect anything different.
