A woman who saw the horrors of the Second World War and now lives with advanced Parkinson's Disease has received an apology from The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) after they demanded that she repay over £7,000. The elderly woman was told to return the funds she had received as part of the severe disability premium of Pension Credit from 2019 to 2022.
This situation arose when the woman's daughter, Rose Chitseko, who previously worked in adult social care, started receiving Carer's Allowance in 2019 due to her mother's inability to look after herself. According to the regulations, this made Rose's mother ineligible for the disability premium.
The DWP claimed that the nonagenarian "failed" to inform them of the change in circumstances, leading to what they considered a fraudulent claim of benefits. Rose contested the allegation, arguing that her mother's severe health condition prevented her from reporting the changes. Despite this, the DWP dismissed the appeal and proceeded with the recovery of the funds, reports the Mirror.

The Guardian first highlighted the case as part of its probe into Carer's Allowance overpayments, and Rose has now confirmed to the paper that the owed amounts have been cancelled. She and her mother received an apology from the Government department.
Speaking to the Guardian, Rose expressed her dissatisfaction: "They apologise, which is something, but they don't explain why they took the money in the first place. It's frustrating that they don't explain. They give me a number to call for information but if they don't want to say anything they're not going to say anything."

reportedly “endorsed” Markle as a woman she would back for the White House.But if the “Suits” alum was to venture out into the political sphere, the move would not only upset the Firm but affect her husband, Prince Harry, negatively.“The royals don’t get involved in politics and they never have, it’s always been a golden rule,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.“If Meghan does — they are senior members of the royal family, despite not being working members of the family, so it wouldn’t be advisable.”Harrold noted that the Duke of Sussex, 39, could lose his last remaining royal post as Counsellor of State if his wife attempted to establish herself in the governmental arena.“I think it could have an impact on Harry’s status as a counsellor of state — if the King is unable to perform his duties, Harry can be called up to step in,” Harrold said on behalf of Fruity Slots.“However, if his wife is involved in politics, I think that could affect that as usually they’re not allowed to have any involvement in politics.”“If Meghan does go into politics, it’ll be interesting to see the impact it has on her husband,” he added.If the former actress was to try her hand at getting her foot in the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., it wouldn’t be the first time a Hollywood star set their sights on politics.Actors including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan established themselves in the political sphere after successful stints on the silver screen.The bodybuilder, 76, served as the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011, and Reagan starred in several Tinseltown features in the 1930s before becoming the 40th US president.Harrold’s comments echo that of
