Day two of strikes
Expect another day of finding it tough to get advice about your tax credits.
It's the second day of strikes by public sector workers, so people like benefits and job centre staff won't be at work.
Thousands will be on picket lines here in Norfolk and across the country as they're not happy about government plans to cut their redundancy pay by a third.
We're still waiting to hear back from the Cabinet Office about their thoughts on the strike.
