Ah. I may have misled you, it seems (coughs nervously, shuffles feet, hangs head, looks embarrassed[:I]). Apologies. The very thought that the government made a mistake.....
I have been reminded that what we decided had happened was, the guy at the local jobcentre hadn't looked at the exact dates properly. The nice boys and girls at the main one (a northern town with an "X" in the name) spotted that I had not worked for 1 year and 11 months, and subsequently showered cash on me. Phew!
But what a farcical system.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
