  1. There is not an answer that is set in stone. It will be whatever is deemed reasonable at the time. Why does it matter so much!
  2. There is no maximum or minimum period. If there was a fraud investigation, with justification, they could go back as far as was deemed reasonable.
  3. Section 112 is a summary offence and the time bar for that is extended by 116. Yes in theory they could still IUC you, but given the time lapse they would have to have a damn good reason for the delay in doing so. It's likely that you will hear no more. Like Tom above I do the job so have reasonable knowledge.
  4. Why is it such an imposition that you have to get a med cert?
  5. You will need a certificate from your GP to claim ESA. There is no other route.
  6. Are you referring to the sentencing guidelines?
  7. Yes.. The dishonest offence is more serious and has intent. It's called the Ghosh Test. Did you plead guilty or were you convicted after trial? How much is the overpayment? If you want advice then you really do need to provide more information.
  8. I don't think they sanction for the fun of it. Plus the fact that they are low paid enough to be on UC says a lot. I couldn't do their job
  9. Of course they are subject to the same rules as everyone else... Would be wrong otherwise.
  10. Just being nosey really... Did you get to the bottom of this? X
  11. You may well just have been randomly selected for a review. As HB said its not as scary as it sounds.
  12. I'm wondering if they are having to contribute to the council tax- are they retirement age?
  13. I think you need to take all your letters to CAB. They should have made a submission to the tribunal service. You need to appeal that the decision is wrong in law or the wrong information has been used. Submitting a late appeal can be pretty technical, hence suggesting you go to CAB x
  14. They should have advised you of further appeal rights. When did your last appeal get turned down?
  15. You need to take it to appeal. Have they not treated your original letter as an appeal? The tribunal service can overturn all or part of the decision. You need to be very clear about wishing to make an appeal to the tribunal service in your letter
  16. Have you been to the tribunal service with it? I'm mystified as to why the 1st of May?
  17. That's what you need to appeal against.. The date used of 1st May. Have you been through the councils complaint procedure?
  18. Did anything else change on 01/05/14?
  19. So they have applied it from the last time you provided proof? Have you provided proof of your costs May- September? As regards when they increased, if you didn't tell them at the time it's treated as a "late beneficial change" and only applied from the date you told them. Changes that would make your benefit go down are however backdated. The council are not punishing you, they are just doing what the regulations require. Not having a go at you, but it's an offence to fail to report a change within 4 weeks of that change ocurring, so in theory you could be interviewed under caution about it. You should appeal the overpayment may- September though - providing the proof of child care costs for that period.
  20. I would be inclined to go along to the interview just to find out what it's all about. If you then feel that you are unable to go through with it you will at least be able to say that you went along to get more information to aid an informed decision.
  21. Have you asked them directly why the date used was in May? Ask for a statement of reasons
  22. I think that's wise.. You have done all you can. Hope things improve for you xx
  23. The fraud manager and DM are not the same at all. The DM looks at benefit legislation and the fraud manager looks at the "criminal" side of things.
