Very interesting Rude . A profile of age groups/single/families etc would have been interesting too. Wonder how they decide who gets what .Interested to know their criteria .Hope its decided in a way that doesnt penalize those with less knowledge of using the system, and those who are less emotional /eloquent/forcefull.
Those numbers are depressing, but I suppose you have to look at them against the total population numbers of Wirral that one presumes are doing ok- although actually of course , some LWA application may well be on behalf of several family members.

A neighbour of mine who is in dire straights applied for the welfare assistance grant that is open to everyone on the Wirral ( working or not) he went to get his Visa card worth £60 for food and clothing, he was greeted by around 40 people who the council had texted to call in and collect ! Apparently, some bright spaark from the council has sent the same text to many people who needed the help. For future reference here is the link LINK Sent another one asking how many notifications were sent out today.
Reading the comments on Facebook - there were spats inside with the receptionist taking the flak, I disagree with that.
It seems that some 'chancers' had inevitably turned up but those in genuine dire straits who had applied did too. Imagine having no food/ fuel (for whatever reason) for yourself and/ or your family to be told that your 'application has been successful, so they turn up as instructed, to be told 'nah, sorry'..... I think that is cruel.
Good Afternoon Thank you for your recent request made under the Freedom of Information Act. Having consulted with the Council’s Benefits department, I can confirm that the notification was delivered by our third party supplier, in error, to 5,100 people in total. I hope this information is of interest to you.

Congratulations Pokerchamp - may all be well.
In my humble opinion, nobody should be asked to work for less than £10 per hour.
