Back to work

Its funny how the effects of two weeks hols can disappear within moments of getting back to work!

Still, the clients continue to be eclectic, one nice lady was in search of the local AA meeting, but couldn't find the venue. Still, this is where google comes in to its own!

Weirdly two clients in one day, both moving back to live in the UK specifically to claim benefits and use the NHS as their money/insurance has run out- both had spent substantial time paying their taxes in other countries, these sort of clients are usually a bit disappointed in the amount they can claim and the hoops they have to jump through to get it.

As another lady said to me, given the broad and inquisitive nature of the questions the DWP insisted in asking her brain damaged, terminally ill husband, she couldn't understand why any one can actually cheat the system.
I know what she means if some people turned the energy and ingenuity to work as they do to being on benefit, they could be dragons in the den on tv!
