Russ L who, when he’s not going to more gigs that the rest of the Midland’s gig-going public combined, works for the Department of Work and Pensions and is therefore a Civil Servant, casts some much welcome light on the recent child benefit CDR thingy:
I do not believe, not even for a moment, that anyone in a normal everyday job (you know, a normal person. The sort of person you could reasonably describe as a ‘junior member of staff’. For those in the game, I’m looking at AA/AO/EO grades; for those that aren’t, I mean the filing & photocopying type of workers/the actual processing & dealing with customer type workers/the team-leader sorts) would have the sufficient access to this information that you’d need to burn it onto a disk. I don’t really believe that the next couple of grades upwards in the seniority rankings would, either. As I say, ‘maybe’ the HMRC is different to the DWP. I don’t believe it, though.
