Don’t Die Early

Because if you do, they’ll want their money back. The Ministry of Defense (UK) has taken back £433 from the family of Lance Corporal Jordan Bancroft because he was inconsiderate enough to die before the end of the month. Bancroft had received a check for £1,493.04 for leave that he had not taken.
Of course, he thought he had found the perfect scam by dying before the end of the month which meant he had been payed 433 pounds that he had not earned. Luckily the MoD is sly to ploys like this and made his family return the ill gotten gains. LCpl couldn’t be reached for comment but his father had this to say about it.
When I read the letter, it felt like I’d been poked in the eye with a sharp stick. I think it’s undignified and very petty to be sent a bureaucratic letter like this.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to receive a collection letter from the government specifically because of the fact that your son had just died.
It all makes sense now…

I have always wondered what was up with the long t-shirt and really low sagging pants. Now it is all clear.
