Ignore any nasty comments! What a lot of self opinionated pigs we have on here today ehh?

best thing to do is contact citizens advise NOW and also go and see your bank manager to find out why they have frozen your account.

ALSO go to the DHSS and find out what%26#039;s going on too and check that you are not under investigation by the benefits fraud team.

And also it%26#039;s worth saying that not all people that are on benefits are scroungers! as you have learned yourself.
