Peter Duut’s Widow Now Left Penniless By DWP- Even Without Dutch Survivor’s Pension.

September 15, 2014

Same Difference has been back in touch with LJ Duut, widow of Peter Duut, whose situation, very sadly, apears to be getting worse.

Earlier today, Monday 15 Sept, LJ Duut posted this on Facebook:

OK- as the situation stands- all benefits ceased in the UK and no Survivors benefit paid from the Netherlands. Not too bothered yet although I am not quite sure what time banks close there now? as it is an hour ahead. Well done UK gov yet again! stopping all benefits before waiting to see if I actually received anything?

Then this a couple of hours later:

It is now 18.02hrs in the Netherlands- nothing went into my account today. Therefore I have been honest yet the UK gov has jumped the gun and stopped everything even saying they ‘ want’ anything I receive- before waiting to see if I actually did get anything – therefore the UK has left me penniless.

When  offers to fundraise flooded in from her concerned friends she added:

Lots of people have kindly offered to give me money through paypal- which I am very grateful for and your kindness shows – yet! There will be many out there with no computer as we know -starving as we speak. I have food in my cupboard and I have a roof over my head ‘for now’ – most of all I am alive. I will not be treated any differently to anyone else as IDS wants it this way as he is in control of his department? I presume. Therefore I shall not buy food from others struggling themselves. I have camping cooker and gas. I am organised– prepared about the best a person can be. BRING IT ON. I must say that after what they did to Peter – I am not impressed at all. It is now a battle for freedom and justice. – As you know all I wanted was a headstone for Peter. I have been told twice by two different people in two different telephone calls ” I don’t think so we want it” meaning- money awarded for a widow of a Dutch National that the UK denied any benefit to – after working so very hard leaving him to starve as we know. Truly evil. But I will not betray anyone else or be treated differently to anyone else and WE are in this together. I do not mean with the regime we are under- I mean their killing games. I think that is all I need to say on the matter. I’d like to thank the UK Government for their greed and haste in stopping my ESA and housing and council tax benefit and simply assuming that I would receive monies said as I was told over the telephone from the Dutch department. They were so very wrong in their actions.

Which just shows her selfless nature and her strength. I am becoming increasingly concerned for LJ. All she wants is her story shared and readers, I will certainly continue to share her story and keep you updated.
