Graham, who intended to retire in Portugal with Karen, experienced multiple DWP errors starting with late pension payments and an unexpected £250 deduction. These financial mishaps jeopardized his visa application, resulting in the collapse of his rental agreement abroad.</description></item></channel></rss>
