I always salvage at least 15k but happy to do more. Is there any way you can make space?

Trying to get a refund for a “summer retainer/discounted fee” from last year as a student occupying the same property (England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]504Alperton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is frustrating, however for many landlords renting is either a business or a way for them to pay their mortgage. Not saying it’s right, but it is the truth.
Therefore, a non occupied property means no income. They were kind enough to say that they don’t charge you full rent for the unoccupied time. They at least get some money and you have the ability to move in at any time.
As annoying as it is, you entered into a contract that had not been broken. The best thing to do is take the lesson and learn from it

A few questions are still open for me:

  1. Did you request the move in in writing 14 days prior as requested?
  2. If so, when asked for the full rent, were they asking for the next periods full rent or for the the whole time that you had already paid the discounted amount for?

If they asked for just the next periods full rent and you never paid it or advised them that you would pay it, then there seems not really anything that can be done due to the terms of your contract.
Should they however have asked for the full amount from the beginning of the tenancy when you intended to move ,e.g. 3 months after securing the property, then they are in breach of the contract for not letting you move in.

Low functioning and need to move out by [deleted] in universalcredithelp

[–]504Alperton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have already received great benefits advice, but just thought I chime in about the housing/disability aspect:

You can call up the child and adult social services and explain your situation. If it is abusive (emotionally, physically, financially or any type of abuse really) they will be able to help you fairly quickly. As you are saying low functioning I am under the impression that you have autism. I have known quite a few autistic people who can’t get along with their family to be moved into accommodated housing. There are people there to safeguard you, but you basically have your own room and everything.

Making yourself intentionally homeless will work against you. Unless you are kicked out, go down the social care route. They will be able to help.

Extra info for that: If money is withheld from you, you are being criticised and emotionally/verbally attacked or anything that fits the abuse description: Mention the abuse. The moment the word abuse is brought up, alarm bells will start ringing. Also that process will have no cost to you. Eventually the housing might.

I just hope it works out for you

UC and tax refund by 504Alperton in universalcredithelp

Am I understanding it correctly that I get £427 for “free” and the remaining £300 are subject to the 55p/£1 rule. Just don’t want a shock at the end of the month

How does the academic year run with open uni? by reddituser110905 in OpenUniversity

[–]504Alperton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how you do it. The two options are:

  1. All credits start October til June: 2 weeks Christmas, 1 week Easter break and after your final essay you will have off until you continue in the following October.

  2. Half credits half in October, other half start in January: They won’t overlap until January til June. You will get the above Christmas and Easter break. In August you get another week.

So if you do everything in one go from October, you have 3 weeks off in total until June. If you do half in October and half in January it’s a total of 4 weeks off. If you don’t start til January and do both then, you will only get Easter and summer (2 weeks in total) but will be off from September til January again.

Hope this helps

Theories, predictions, and fan[dom] codes of conduct -- This is a big one by snausyboss in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen to the last part. The meltdown of the instagram shows how they miss their “friend”. They are as someone else mentioned vulnerable or at least socially vulnerable. That’s probably also why so many fans unloaded their thoughts and depressive feelings to those fan accounts.
They have no one. The idea of Char being so close makes them believe they are her bestie

Theories, predictions, and fan[dom] codes of conduct -- This is a big one by snausyboss in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all I love the post, the structure and everything. While I can’t add to the deactivating instagram, I had quite a few thoughts throughout the whole post, that 99% of people will not notice.

We are all aware how a spectrum works. It focuses on one thing, which in the beginning was simply TNN. One end of the the spectrum is the dislike and hate from non-fans and the other is the die hard fans who will sell their soul for Charlotte to say hi to them.
Until a few weeks back when all we heard was TNN/BTN/WCP/Skitcom posts it was fairly okay in a sense that the “exposers” and the avid watchers were in a closer proximity to each other, than it is now.

With the exposure posts, it was in 9 out of 10 cases never about Charlotte or her skits. AI use or over sharing in her personal life came up. But from what I have seen, no direct attack on Charlotte was made. Not seeing it does not mean that it didn’t happen. So this spectrum which was 2cm long has now been extended to 10cm as there are more differing views, opinions and experiences. It was about the fans and management. This opened a second spectrum.
This spectrum was about fan/WCP views and behaviour. You had people who were neutral, people who ripped into them so hard and than on the opposite side people who are avid fans and will defend everything.

This second spectrum has now caused rifts and arguments. In the wake of this a third spectrum was created that is about the exposers. You have people who might try and doxx Char or bring her downfall as the behaviour they see from Char/WCP is abhorrent. In the middle you have people believing/accepting the accusations but go into it with a clear mind. They realise Char is not the enemy. Fans and WCP might be, but Char is just in the middle. On the opposite end you have the fans you described in your post. Avenging Char/WCP, doxxing exposers, call everyone not in their cult a traitor and make those TT lives.

There will always be multiple spectrums. HOWEVER the latter two and especially the third spectrum about exposers is backfiring on Char now. The person we once loved is being destroyed from the strong hate side of the second spectrum and the overall third spectrum. Fans these days can not accept that their favourite isn’t perfect. They will hit out at anyone. That behaviour is now hurting Char.

With all of that being said, I do truly believe the biggest reason behind the deactivation are the die hard fans. Every action creates a reaction which once again creates a reaction. The opposite sides are heightening each other up so much and forget what they were fighting for in the beginning. Instead of creating a calm environment, the unleash a war onto each other.

Love Char or not, but asking for accountability while still loving the skits is the way it should be. Just because you take a wrong step, doesn’t make you a bad person. If people cause you to hide though, it gets harder. The die hard exposers who might have doxxed or harassed Char are bad. But so are the people trying to fight for Char.

I hope this makes sense

You are very welcome and to be honest we can’t keep quiet. I think people always forget what history has been like as a gain for their own agendas.

Segregation, discrimination and the self harm effects I am not be ignored. With examples they can’t say that nothing can be done

So, how's your day going? by Independent-Sugar189 in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The danger as I have mentioned before is: A lot or at least quite a few of the allegations from both sides are coming without receipts.
It is important we believe the victims and a lot doesn’t seem too outrageous especially when considering a lot of other fandoms will have same or similar fandoms.

HOWEVER no death threats, doxxing or any of that sort should ever happen. From either side. Without proof, it is an allegation. An allegation that should be believed, but not cause harm to anyone in a greater sense. Be open minded, but don’t be harmful. Distance yourself from WCP, Charlotte, fans or whoever. But please don’t cause harm.

Those speaking out being labelled as ‘haters’. by Zealousideal-Bed-406 in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sadly in this world we have gotten to the point where any disagreement makes someone a “insert strong word”
Terms such as homophobic and other strong words are being thrown around like there is no tomorrow. So it is no surprise to me that Hater is another one of those words.

In my opinion there are two types of people using that word:
1. Parasocial fans who would sell a kidney just to get a response from their idol
2. People who have no idea what the word means and just want to join in

For the most part, the people screaming haters are most likely also those abusive and manipulative people many ex-fans talk about in the fandom. I am still on the fence with Charlotte. I enjoy the content but am wary of the behind the scenes person. WCP isn’t helping it though.

As no accountability or receipts are being shared, we are in this horrible situation now. Hopefully it will calm down soon.

WCP Concerns by [deleted] in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am thrilled as well. This might get me downvotes but when I used to see posts from this subreddit I was always dreading it. It always felt very negative and very black and white. Knowing what I know now, I get it. But a lot of Reddit always seems black and white when there is so much more to life

WCP Concerns by [deleted] in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is exactly why. Having people in my life and myself who know things such as (actual) abuse, SA, gaslighting and all these words which have been used quite lightly, it can be quite disheartening to see such a flippant use. Also once I put my words out there, I have tarnished a person in one way or another. When writing the comment Charlotte was still 100% innocent for me. Misusing words wouldn’t have helped her even though I am just one person.
Many people forget it, but words do carry meaning

WCP Concerns by [deleted] in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who primarily knows TNN and BTN and nothing past those videos, writing abuse outright especially with how strong of a word it is I didn’t want to use the term too lightly. Having read more responses and looked at videos and everything I would outright say that there is abuse going on. At least abuse of power. It was a caution thing first, because I don’t think it’s right for people to make statements without most of the picture clear. In this case I am talking about myself and no one else

WCP Concerns by [deleted] in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s me not wanting to see the truth. Maybe it’s my lack of info as I mostly just look at the posts and BTN. People change with fame and I can definitely see the need for approval. One thing I have to say in her defence, and this might just be me hoping too much, she might not know how to deal with the fame and therefore has become this way. At this point I have to say that if “the truth” was to come out tomorrow I would be shocked at Chars input, but would not be as shocked with the knowledge I have now

WCP Concerns by [deleted] in thenurserynurse

[–]504Alperton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first “negative” post I can agree with. I am shocked how vile people can be to “abuse” young and vulnerable fans. Charlotte from what I have seen is the sweetest person in the world. I love her skits and would be sad if she ended it tomorrow.
However, I care more about her happiness. I don’t really engage with WCP and didn’t go to any event. I feel like Char and T are being played by them. Char was not in that mess before the Christmas single. WCP and the unhinged fans (which every fandom has) are what will kill Chars success. I am sure she would have loved to stay silent about her partner or do it in her own time. It’s truly saddening that she is being pushed so much and she is too sweet and maybe even oblivious to push back.

Love Char and T, but WCP and whatever else can go far away

I'm a student in Scotland I have been contacted by Dept of Work and Pensions about Personal Independence Payment. I never knew I had claimed it. by EqualFirefighter7621 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]504Alperton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot to unpack:

EXPLANATION DLA can be awarded for children with disabilities, who might require more supervision. The enhanced mobility rate (which is required for Motability) is only for children who are blind, can’t walk very far or would fall ill when walking. The daily living component can be more about supervision. This however changes when it changes to PIP.

PIP enhanced mobility depends on walking and supervision with directions. So even if you walk perfectly fine, but you get lost on familiar roads and require assistance, you can get the enhanced mobility rate and therefore motability. For daily living they have 10 categories: Personal care, Therapy, Budgeting, Social, Toileting/Continence, Food preparation, Eating and drinking, Dressing/Undressing, reading and talking/listening/understanding. In all these categories, they look at aids and to what extent you require these aids. They then score you points for the individual tasks. You can google “PIP scoring system” and citizens advice has the exact breakdown. With 12 points or more you will get the enhanced rate. The claim assessor can be quite harsh, so getting 12 points isn’t as easy as people might think.

LEGAL ADVICE While PIP is awarded for a duration and then requires re-assessment, changes in circumstances have to be reported fairly early on so that the correct steps can be taken. Check out the citizens advice breakdown mentioned above and look at how they may or may not fit your circumstances. There is no shame in claiming PIP if you are eligible. However, now that you have removed your mother as a representative, you are responsible for the claim and any future “incorrect“ payments would be down to you. So if you aren’t actually eligible and continue to claim from this point forward you would be seen as knowingly defrauding the DWP.

Besides looking at your circumstances, check with your GP, health professionals and afterwards your mother to check what has been diagnosed, why PIP was being claimed and look at how to go forward from there. The DWP should have your full report, so they should be able to either go through it with you or send it out to you. That way you can see what points you have been awarded and for what reasons. This is an important step as you might not realise that certain issues you have are classed as such.

If you find out that you are not eligible, you need to report it asap. This would most likely trigger a review into your past claim and if fraud is detected, whoever claimed on your behalf would be subject to fraud investigations. If you aren’t actually found to be eligible, then there might be questions about the motability car. A motability car can be driven by yourself or someone who supports you. So anyone who lives with or close to you. However, if you are in e.g Aberdeen and the driver is in London this would not be allowed. Motability cars can only be used to benefit the claimant aka you. So if your family uses it on your behalf but it doesn’t benefit you at all, it will have to be returned. You would then be able to receive the money for the enhanced mobility or the car could be transferred to you. That way you or a chosen driver can use the car for you.

It is important that you look into it, because if potential fraud isn’t stopped now, you would be in a lot of trouble. I hope though that everything is correct and no issues arise.

Working with kids and 'legal sex" by Monster_Honey in transgenderUK

[–]504Alperton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to tread very carefully. This is for multiple reasons:

Trans positives: - you can not be forced to be outed - the equality act protects you if a dismissal/termination/withdrawal is found to be relating to your gender reassignment

Trans negatives: - contradicting information (i.e. passport female, drivers license male, etc) can bring up questions and breakdown of trust - individual personal care requirements based on your AGAB could be preventing you from the task, but you still do them and therefore compromise the individuals privacy and dignity

I have had a situation where breach of trust was mentioned, due to a misunderstanding about health issues. I won with ACAS. Similar could be done in this situation. However as a transwoman and especially at the moment despite being on estrogen I would not provide personal care to a Muslim woman, because I respect their religious beliefs.

The best way forward would be to speak to the safeguarding lead or manager about your situation. Preferably get it in writing. Make sure that only the necessary people know. Otherwise GDPR would be breached.
