I just got home from a shift at the Hospice. Found a letter waiting for me from Universal Credit. Apparently, 'the benefit is only just being rolled out and at this time you do not qualify'.
Sigh.
When I was applying online for Jobseeker's Allowance - which I was encouraged at every possible opportunity to do - it literally shut down the claim form and sent me to the Universal Credit site as soon as it thought maybe I qualified for that instead. So I'm just going to have to call them and insist they do it over the phone. And not take no for an answer. At least, the letter says that if I claim for Jobseeker's (within a month), they will take the date of my claim as the date I claimed for Universal Credit, if I show the letter I've got. But still. Fuck's sake.
Sigh.
