[QUOTE="unclescrooge, post: 9133892, member: 178528"] We were put on UC when we moved farms from tax credits and were appointed a work coach had to go in every month and what felt let be berated for setting up our own business and of course had a sh!t tonne of debt. The folk in the job center have no clue how a business works and even less clue how a agricultural business works were they asked for our books from the accountant and found the biggest figure in there they could which of course was our stock value and started telling me I have more than enough money in stock and I should be drawing it out of the business and living off that not able to comprehend that that figure was for livestock and what I needed to use to make money they opened an investigation on us had to get MP involved and everything to get it sorted out as they were threatening to reclaim all monies paid over the last 5 years and when MP looked into it they had no right to ask for business accounts in first place as it only personal income they should be assessing and personal savings. The work coach was sacked and we told them to stick the payments where the sun don't shine and stopped claiming even tho we are entitled to claim them. Things are very very tight for us now but we decided we would rather be tight up than be threatened and berated by that lot of useless twits who can hardly understand how to run a race never mind a business.
