Beyond the pale and into mirrors and hazes

And just when you think there is space enough to breath easy.

The local counil have re-assessed me (as in my benefits). Got a council tax bill for £509.

Was pacing and veering off into hysterical state and then quite abruptly thought "Ring the council".

I did and asked what it all means and how they expect me to pay this money. The woman put me on hold whilst she went through my records. She came back saying I have been re-assessed again (that is I have been re-assessed after the re-assessment). Another lot of paperwork was sent out from the offices yesterday and should be with me in the next few days which, she reckons, will clarify the situation.

I said, I know I have a disability which could mean that I am missing something so could you explain what this actually means and she said she couldn't share personal information over the phone with me. I have to wait for the next lot of paperwork to arrive.

Is clear as mud to me.
