[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 546407, member: 84"] It went cruddy pretty much. I don't do on the phone that well to begin with.........it did not help that it seems I got a fairly newbie caseworker either. Travis is fine, they aren't allowed to refuse him. Me? Well, they wanna know how I make house payments and pay bills............well, ok that was fine I just explained to them exactly how I've been doing that and how that money has run out. So then she wants to know how I intend to pay it in the future........that one I wasn't really expecting, as I told her I've been looking for work.
