[CitizensAdvice @CitizensAdvice]

We welcome the Government’s new funding to tackle homelessness, especially the support for households in temporary accommodation - an issue we highlighted last month.

We look forward to further action through the Homelessness and Child Poverty strategies.

DWP plans will see more than 50,000 disabled people lose cash which supports them into work https://t.co/8FT2pgPzA9

[Chaminda Jayanetti @cjayanetti]

At least 50k disabled people could lose access to financial employment support if the govt goes ahead with plans to scrap the WCA assessment, according to a new report from Citizens Advice

The true figure is likely to be higher

By me, for Big Issue https://t.co/baW786j5kL

‘Temporary accommodation is meant to provide a lifeline for people at the sharp end of the housing crisis, but sky-rocketing costs are pushing them deeper into debt’ ⁦@insidehousing⁩ covers new ⁦@CitizensAdvice⁩ report https://t.co/N57KfAs4oJ

[CitizensAdvice @CitizensAdvice]

Temporary accommodation should give people short-term housing while permanent accommodation is found.

But many people find themselves trapped for years, facing costs that stretch their budgets.

Action is needed to prevent families living in temporary accommodation being pushed deeper into poverty ⤵️

There’s only one descriptor you can actually get 3 points for. All the others go up in even numbers only. So either this means rewriting the descriptors or the person proposing it doesn’t understand the system It’s just another arbitrary change.

@mandm Hi, I contacted your customer service team via the website last Wednesday because a pair of trainers were missing from my order when it arrived. No-one has been in touch to sort this issue out - can you help?

[Louise Fisher @LouiseFishe]

@TomCapon @antoniabance FFS this is awful, @nearlylegal may be able to help?

@hannahfearn 😂(but also, no names/ages etc with the pics? 😱my news ed would have strung me up!)

[Louise Fisher @LouiseFishe]

@lottyburns Took my eldest at 2 and 3 and she loved it both times, as did we! I’d say she got more out of it at 3 and the flight was significantly easier.

[Louise Fisher @LouiseFishe]

@hannahfearn GP friend also recommended poxclin mousse and bicarbonate of soda in the bath but eldest whinged that both of them stung 🙄And wine in the fridge for you! The spots only really bothered her for about 2 days so 🤞you’re nearly there

[Louise Fisher @LouiseFishe]

@hannahfearn Ugh Hannah this is rubbish sorry, we are in the thick of it too (eldest recovered and back at school but youngest has got it now obvs). Things that have worked: piriton for itching, porridge oats in an old sock/pair of tights in the bath, aqueous calamine cream.
