Posting for a friend.
My best friend and her wife are having real issues. She was overpaid Tax Credits, at present I don't know the exact figure, and the DWP are recovering the amounts at a ridiculous amount. I have no idea what to do for her.
She works 18hpw due to her mental health not being as good as it could be, her wife works 16 hours per week to care for their son.
This is the message she sent me:
I'm up to my eyes in debt
I owe 3 months rent because I'm 18 hours and they expect me to pay £420 rent and £120 council tax out of £580 wage.
Kell pays tv license phones and food for month cat and dog food I'm in debt with my water I'm sinking and fast sis I could cry xxx
She has had her NHS card taken off her and she cannot afford her antidepressants,
I have contacted National Debtline who couldn't help cos it's a benefit issue, but she literally cannot afford to do a shop. Any ideas would be amazing!
Cheers
