Listening to "Talk With Joe" Tuesday & Wed people were complaining about losing their benefits if they did not collect them within 12 days in some cases this was 5 days.
One lady a widower had went for a holiday in a caravan in Cork her relative had, when she came back to lift her benefits she was told she had lost them due to this 12 day limit, reason is if you do not lift your benefits you do not need them, she had 6 children so the hardship there would have been considerable.
During the programme a lot of people were ringing in with the same problems, one lady on dialysis lost her benefits, other people lost out due to being hospitalised.
People whose benefits are paid into their bank accounts have always got their benefits paid but now this is being changed, seems you have to prove you need these benefits again.
What a way to treat the pensioners, the sick and the unemployed?
