The latest scam from the dwp appears to be targeted at those apllying, or trying to apply, for mip. Steve Donnison recently reported in his last Newsletter that the take up of the new loan, now not a benit anymore, was only 7%.

i am wondering if thi is because the dwp are refusing to issue any guides or paperwork on the issue after repeatedly promissiing to do so.

afeter nunerous reusts for them to send me the literaturethey still refuse to do so.

they also issue a telephone number to urgently contact them on. This telephone line goes unawsered on numaerous attempts by my carer. The first time on hold for 59 minutes, then 50 minutes, 20 minutes 20 minutes. She has now had to write to them again urgently reuesting the forms.

This is a delberate ploy on behalf of the goverment and dwp to make disabled people even more stressed and anxious.

This is a blatant scam and further harassment from this evil goverment.

I would be grateful f other members who are currently in the same situation would let me know if they too are experincing the same delaying tactic and harassment from the dwp

this new law comes into affect in just 2 weeks time and after that people could start to lose their homes.

Many thanks

I have allowed your post but I will only accept replies in regard the logistical problems with this process, any questions or advice about taking out the loan will be deleted without notice!

We had no problems getting the information leaflets that accompanied the loan application forms. I did have some problems getting answers to several questions but did get eventually get an answer from the DWP after ringing Serco and the Money Advice Service.

Thanks Gordon all your work on here is much appreciated and I don't want to give you any hassle whatsoever you do a Sterling job I am just very concerned that none of us can get through to the DWP these applications according to the legislation should have been sent out one year ago and with just a few days to the deadline we have had nothing from the DWP and they refuse to answer their telephone I really just want to know if other members have also had this sort of experience with them many thanks

The initial letter was about 7 weeks ago. The Serco call about 10 days later and the forms etc. were sent about a week later, I can't remember the actual date as the letter is not dated, but I think it was the second week of February.

Isn't it interesting that they don't even date letters or put a name and surname on that is real a truly shocking organisation
