Sometimes there is friction between family members, and misunderstandings can so easily occur … is there anything troubling you within your family at the moment?Hello l have a bit of a problem at the present time and it goes like this: my eldest grandson is getting married next year 2024, and the problem is he is at odds with his mother and he has stated that on no account will she be invited to the wedding,l had a long chat with him and tried to persuade him to change his mind but he has told me that along with his mother not getting an invite various other members of the family are not invited, now the problem l have he has invited me and my wife to attend the wedding and when l informed my daughter ( his mother ) that l had an invite she went spare and stated l could not go as no other member of the family was invited. Now l am 83 years old and it is unlikely that l will be around to see any of the other grandchildren get married the problem is do l accept the invite or decline it to please my daughter, really do not know what l should do as l could cause problems with the mother ( my daughter ), someone please give me some sound advice. many thanks JohnViewDate:

Executor and BeneficiaryHi Re this beneficiary thing, l have sent my brother another E.Mail and he has warned me that if l persist in sending him E.Mails he will report me to the police for harassment, how do l stand now, do l invite him to report me to the police or just leave it. Sound advice required. JohnViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Afternoon all Now hear this are you all sitting down, l begin by saying that l have now received my winter fuel payment, after at least 20 phone calls and as many e.mails to the wonderful people at the DWP the money was paid into my account on 5/3/2021,just as well really as l had burnt all the chairs and was about to start on the stairs, now here's a funny thing l got a letter this morning from the DWP dated 24/2/2021 telling me that now all my details were up to date it will be making the payment, bear in mind my details have not changed since l retired approx 15 years ago. So all you guys out there who have not received your money keep at it with the DWP as l do believe the DWP have got as much sense as Noddy in a comma. Best of luck guys. JohnViewDate:

Winter fuel payments - have you had yours yet?Hi Total waste of time using this site,what you need to do is phone them on 0800 731 0160 when you get thru you will be put on hold be prepared to wait for someone to say " can I help you " bear in mind holding on can take approximately 30 minutes l did this a couple of days ago and got thru. Best of luck stick with it. John
