	We are reasonably intelligent with a smattering of education and we are finding claiming very difficult, Isn't the benefit system supposed to be to support people who are at a disadvantage?

When I pointed out he had worked for 18mths so why wasn't he entitiled they decided he was entitled. six mths on job seekers and luckily he has been employed for8 yrs now. We had never heard of pension credit and when OH was 60 we both had part time jobs and we use to get our money topped up with it. It was a neighbour that told us about it. My sons g/f has applied for her maternity money as her work refuses to pay her. and that has taken 6 weeks because they keep loosing bits of the paperwork. I'm sure baby will be here before she gets any money. I also think that I am ok with form filling but claiming is difficult. Anne
