Complusory Interviews?
Tue 27-Sep-05 03:33 PM

You may recall the evictions and propblems we were and still are experiencing locally due to D&G Council refusing to issue HB claim forms and forcing people to attend a compulsory interview before any HB claim could start, brief details here

http://www.welfarerights.net/meeting.doc

Would you believe this compulsory interview could be in line for a prestigious national award from IRRV, as D&G Council say 99.8% of people who used it are happy with it, they forgot to mention that 31% of elderly, disabled and vulnerablle fail to show up so have no HB claim.

Who would believe statistics?

statistics, who was it who said they can be used like a drunk person uses a lamp post " For support rather than illumination".
