MONSTA X‘s Joohoney has opened up about his personal goals as a songwriter and producer for the group, revealing his intent to dispel the “fixed notion” that older idol groups make “half-hearted” music.In a new interview with Arena Homme Plus, the MONSTA X rapper revealed that the hardest song he’s ever produced is the K-pop group’s June 2021 single ‘Gambler’, through which he hoped to dispel assumptions about older idol groups.“I wanted to break the fixed notion people have that the further you get into your career, you’ll start making music half-heartedly, or the tempo of your songs will get slower,” Joohoney said, per translations by Soompi.Joohoney also said he wanted ‘Gambler’ to be a “powerful” song that would allow MONSTA X, who are nearly seven years old as a group, to showcase the same levels of energy of a younger K-pop act.“Because if a song has a powerful sound, its choreography gets more powerful as well,” he added. “I feel apologetic to the members who suffered [because of the song’s choreography], but looking back on it now, I think it was the right decision.
PIP payment rates and points explained to help you make a successful claim first time
12.03.2022 - 08:01 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that on October 31, 2021 there were 2.8 million people across the UK claiming support through Personal Independence Payments (PIP), with just over one in three claimants (35%) receiving the highest level of award.
Of that total, 297,213 Scots are now receiving financial support between £23.70 and £152.15 every week (£94.80 and £608.60 paid every four weeks), an increase of 5,113 claimants since July.
The DWP also reported that during the period between July and October 2021, it had received 180,000 registrations for new claims - the highest quarterly level of new claim registrations since PIP began in 2013. Some 25,000 changes of circumstances were also reported.
The figures also showed that new claims are currently taking 24 weeks to complete, from registration to a decision being made.
PIP is designed to help people with the extra costs of daily living or moving around as a result of a long-term illness, mental health condition or physical or learning disability, but many people are put off claiming this essential benefit, wrongly assuming that they are not eligible or have heard negative stories about the application process.
We have simplified the terminology used by the DWP and explained what elements are involved in a claim including components, rates and how the application is scored, which in turn determines the level of award a person receives.
PIP is made up of two components, a daily living component and a mobility component.
Each component has two payment rates - a standard rate and an enhanced rate.
Claimants who are assessed as having:
Daily Living Component
Mobility Component
If you qualify for PIP, you will also receive a Christmas bonus
