Just a short note to say thanks for the support i still have no wish to survive and not being helped now by full flare thanks to my suicidal state to add insult to injury the dip not happy with taking my income away are calling in to check on my husbands residential status for the third time he was born here.... And has only been dead since 15th of December they won't even let me grieve. when he lived in Zimbabwe all British people were forced to give up their passports from other countries and swear allegance to mugabe or be turned out with the clothes on their back

so rob has a Zimbabwe passport just for the record i have a pale skin and we were not racist. that came from the dutch descent via the old way of life in south Africa a d the faded tthat we are part of south Africa is yet another myth anyhow this Was just to say thanks to you ' all Petal

oh petal, I wish I was near enough to give you a hug! you are still in grief for rob, worn out from caring for him, missing your daughter and mithered by the benefits people. Please take comfort from knowing we care for you.

keep coming on here and talking, it's important.

love,

Of course you are still grieving .. I know it's a long shot but do you have robs birth certificate surely that will be enough for them, if not you can get a copy and then they will HAVE to believe he was born in this country.

Theyve checked three times already.....I also have his moms and his folks marriage cert doesnt help

Oh my goodness, poor Petal, it's enough coping with grief, you shouldn't have to worry about all of this too. it's understandable that you are struggling right now my dear. I cannot understand why a Birth Certificate won't suffice. Have you presented them with your husband's Death Certificate because this would state clearly where he was born. That might help, I hope it does. I trust you have that in your possession now.
