Howdo Folks,

I was sanctioned in 2012 for six months for a failure to attend a Work Programme appointment with A4E I knew nothing about. Naturally, I appealed and the First Tier Tribunal handed down the Judgement at the end of May 2016 after all the legalities with Reilly & Hewstone and Jeffrey & Bevan were sorted out. The result was that my Appeal was upheld.

I received a letter from the DWP at the end of July saying that they were considering an Appeal and that I would not be receiving any payment at that time. Fast forward to the middle of September and my copy of the Tribunal's Statement of Reasons arrives - I should note that the DWP asked for this as they were the losers here.

Since then, its been radio silence and I'm wondering what steps are open to me to find out what is going on as I have as little to do with the local JCP as possible.

I'm not receiving any benefits at the moment as my JSA claim was terminated with no reason given in January 2013 even though a Compliance Officer was happy.

I became a carer for a friend, but his PIP assessment did not go well and he has been denied PIP; he is waiting for an appeal date after his MR was refused so the Carers Allowance which paid the bills is now not coming in.

Needless to say, the money situation is now getting a bit tight...

Cheers for any pointers you might have.

If you are unemployed why do not you make JSA claim? I can not see any relevance to your old case as you seem to have different circumstances. Your local

JCP would not deal with the Judgment. You may call general JSA number requestig an update or caĺl back.

Quite frankly, the treatment I've had from the local office is appalling and any complaints I have made have gone nowhere so I rub along by doing computer hardware jobs here and there. I really don't want anything to do with them apart from recovering the benefit that I am owed. As for calling the general JSA number, I don't have enough credit on my mobile as I keep it for incoming and emergency calls only. Is there an address I can use to find out whats going on as I do prefer the written word to a disembodied voice working from a script?

Just removed a post - let's keep it civil, folks.

I'm a little bit put out to be fair, my post was perfectly civil, if working whilst claiming is now socially acceptable my bad!!

No part of the post indicates that the OP was or is "working while claiming". In the past OP was claiming but not working, now OP is working and not claiming.

That's it in a nutshell

Just a little update: Had a letter from HMCTS this morning - permission for the DWP to appeal **has** been denied so I'll see what happens next ;-)

Another update... Had a letter today from the Upper Tribunal to say that they have received an Application against the decision by the First-tier Tribunal. Ho-hum :-|
