well we are now on week 7 and today is 3 weeks since 2nd investigatory interview. Boss is back from his hols today so just waiting game still no news TBH now getting to the point whereby I am now completely numb with this and I have no idea how this is going to pan out, i have been applying for other jobs and had a few interviews. To say I am at my wits end would be an understatement.

well 6 weeks tomorrow and still no news they investigating person is on leave for few weeks so I suspect that is why I have still not heard anything at all

FT union rep said same thing he strongly suspects digging for anything as my previous manager supported me 100% throughout all of this given verbal interview he also answered same via email as well and still going on! the person that did initial investigation is now going on leave for 3 weeks so union rep said he will have sent all paperwork to HR and no doubt someone there has said dig further, need something concrete, unfortunately you end up thinking negatively and I have got to the point that it is fight or flight now and got my fighting spirit back now. It helps talking about it as my family I feel are going through it with me and it is upsetting for them as well, it is your life in someones hands.

Well still no news and it will be 5 weeks this Thursday so it is literally a waiting game

they are saying I claimed for hours not worked but my manager authorised me working from home and has confirmed this

Hi Sabresheep Well have had positive feedback from the unions in fact it is now with the FT official, they are saying they have nothing on me but seems they are desperately searching, i have been in the job over 15yrs never had anything at all no lateness/no MFA nothing. Lot of political stuff going on at present in the company and union rep saying it is now a witch hunt on me new managers in situ and all that, I had authorisation off my previous manager which I believe this has been looked into and confirmed as true but still pressing ahead with this so tomorrow 2nd investigating interview so got union rep with me even though they cannot officially say. Just seems that last week telling me finished with investigation and passing over to another manager no back 2 steps again.

reading through this did Mark ever come back to anyone re the outcome

thanks so much SabreSheep, I have been to my GP and they are very reluctant to prescribe sleeping pills. Well I had first investigatory interview 4 weeks ago then a text message advising that now this has been concluded passed over to another Manager, then yesterday got a voicemail from investigating manager advising now being pulled back in tomorrow for 2nd investigating interview to go into more detail regarding the questions!!! I am a member of a trade union and they have been great. They are investigating me for claiming hours not worked but I worked from home and had authority from my then direct line manager in fact some of the occassions he insisted I work from home to play catch up with the workload. They have interviewed my colleagues and also my then manager but I have not seen anything regarding these as yet.

I have been suspended from my job been 4 weeks now and in such a state cannot eat or sleep 15yrs service, no previous issues of anything not even timekeeping. I am not doing good with all this.

Got IUC 10 weeks ago for benefit fraud very complex and stupid of me was working and claiming for 12months, ALL the money was paid back as i had an accident claim and upon payout of this they automatically pay ALL the monies back to DWP i produced this at the IUC and they had no idea about this being paid back, now got letter today from fraud advising that it had been decided that i was living with my partner and they want further info such as bank statements etc he was self employed.If i do not reply they will assume that the income was too high to claim resulting in overpayment. But when i did claim and was not working also awarded Industrial injuries and as such awarded just £10.68 HB and from what i recollect zero CT due to daughter working PT and being over dependant age. I am at my wits end over this, checked my rent and i was paying full HB due to Ind injuries and they then worked out i owed them monies back so set up DDB and paid full HB every month to them and, very complicated what should i do now. Partnernever ever claimed anything and in fact his books show losses for the last few years but. They seem too have made their decision and if i provided the details they want EVERYTHING and if i don't then they still want ££. The ESA ALL paid back from my claim every penny and at the IUC they advised this will help as they had no idea this had all been paid back, any help greatly appreciated, one last note the payout i got for compensation did not get until about feb 2011 but they wanting info from my initial claim in 2009
