    Thanks again everyone, This is really getting to her. Just had her on the phone again saying she is suicidal, she can't take any more of their persecuting her. Said she has no joy in her life, all she has is this crap over her head. Before anyone suggests she has been to the doctor. I think this is it really, she's had crap all her life, she's now 56, so think they may finally do her in, she's been so strong for too long. Hope the psychopaths will be happy. Oh forgot, they don't have empathy so won't they won't bat an eye lid. And ultimately it is her decision.

    Thanks everyone, There are no payments out that are a lot more than her income. She hasn't got an increased income she is just spending her inheritence which they know about. She has no undisclosed income which the woman at the council mentioned to her. They can look as much as they like it just does not exist. She has no more money than she started with at the start of her claim. SHE IS NOT SAYING I'VE GOT LESS MONEY GIVE ME MORE. Had a phone call from her last night. She has been asked for what she has spent money on before she EVEN CLAIMED HOUSING/COUNCIL TAX BENEFIT. NOW SOMEONE TELL ME THAT IS CORRECT?

    Forgot to add, i think they go for easy targets.

    Slatted, My cousin is not unduly worried as the house sale goes through next week hopefully and she'll be able to stop her claim then. She's been on to COMMINITY LEGAL ADVICE this afternoon and a lady there is hopefully going to write to the Council for her. The trouble with claiming benefits etc, is that no-one knows everything there is to know about the benefit system, whether it is Housing, DWP, HMRC etc. You do something that you think is above board and then find out maybe it's not. What really gets me is the stories they make up about people. Saying people are in relationships when they're not. These departments want their cake and to eat it to. They have a one size fits all way of thinking.

    This country IS HELL.

    I don't know, but i do know they'll ask for all manner of documents.
  7. sallypotter
    Like me and my good mate Slatted have basically said. Get them to apply, it'll either be yes or no. Don't think they have any other option to get the answer.

    Amianne, she is 56 years old and quite capable of spending HER money. She doesn't care if they consider she is depriving herself of capital, she's NOT asking for any more money, what don't you get about that?
  9. sallypotter
    Amianne, She isn't trying to get any more money from them. If you receive esa you get automatic housing and council tax benefit. She didn't make the rules, it's their rules. She fits the criteria and that should be that. What she spends her money on is up to her. Slatted, they definetely have too much time on their hands. They are out to get her, she doesn't even have to give them her reference number!!!!
  10. sallypotter
    Depends. Look at the housing benefit application forms. They ask about owning properties elsewhere. If you are selling one think you will find you may have a chance. But you obviously have more than one which you are getting an income from so i doubt it. I know you're using this to pay the mortgage but that will be excluded. Apply, disclose everything and see what they say.
  11. sallypotter
    Slatted, no worries. Thanks again, i just don't understand why they've asked her for information on what she's SPENT her money on, as she wouldn't get any more benefit? She is eligible for hb/ctb as she receives reduced rate esa as her savings have always been between £6000-£15999 which means she is automatically eligible if i'm not mistaken. When she gets the money from the house sale, they've told her she has 26 weeks to find somewhere to buy and she would still be eligible for housing/council tax benefit as the money won't be seen as capital for this period. Even told her that she can still claim Council Tax benefit then, lol. She hadn't even thought of that!!!!! She doesn't intend to now as can't stand any more of their interference. This is very suspicious behaviour by them, they obviously think she is up to some sort of fraud as it's not your general bod writing but a BENEFIT INVESTIGATION OFFICER Tech IRRV.........
  12. sallypotter
    Hi Slatted, Yes she is fortunate. But if i filled you in more you wouldn't think so, she's had an awful life believe me. Surely though the monitoring should be done if she ever applies for esa or whatever it is called then if she ever does. She had a letter probably back in March asking for her to notify them when she received the money from the house sale. She told them ok, but they've decided to write asking for her bank statements which she provided and now when she's done this, wanting to know what she spent her money on? Her money!!! Is this legal?
  13. sallypotter
    Thanks for your reply Darfyddi, She has declared all her accounts to them. She receives esa income related and declared her inheritance she received when her father died which was about £13,000 approx. Her esa got reduced as she had over £6,000. Do they have a right to request for this new information? Surely, what she spends her money on is totally up to her, it was her father's money. She's not tried to claim more money by getting rid of it. She won't be claiming much longer for anything as she has had enough of them wanting to know all her business. She has inherited a part share in her father's house and was going to buy a small flat with her share but now is not going to bother and live off the money as she is sick to the back teeth of all the snooping at this difficult time. Thanks. Any more advice would be gladly received from you or anyone else in the know.
  14. sallypotter
    Thanks rainbo, She's spent money but not to get under any figure of savings threshold. She was already under that figure which they knew. She won't be on any benefits soon anyway but she's not happy with the snooping. After all it's her money. She rang up the woman that wrote the letter and was told they were checking up whether she had any undeclared income. She hasn't. She told them it was none of their business as this was out goings not incomings! I gave her advice which i thought was logical but you never know what the legalities are. Thanks

    Can someone tell me whether a claimant of housing benefit and/or council tax benefit has to declare when asked by the local council paying this what they have spent their money on? My cousin claims these benefits and was recently asked to produce bank statements which she did. Now her local council have asked her about various outgoings and incomings. She told them what she spent her money on was none of their business. She can understand them asking about the incomings which were only transfers from one bank account to another but the outcomings is a different matter. Or is it? Thank you in anticipation.
  16. sallypotter
    Think you will find it is not legally enforceable. Hence you do not have to pay. It is not the same as yellow lines with sign on post that is legally enforceable.

    Change the locks to the outside of the property, front, back and side.

    Ok, i was assuming the 4 hours a week was cash in hand, £40 tops. Seems you are in a bit of a pickle. I'm sorry i don't know what to suggest apart from say as little as possible so as not to implicate yourself and answer questions with "i can't remember" you probably can't. They are certainly not there to help you, so don't let them put words into your mouth. Ask your other half what he can remember and say the same thing. You don't want to have 2 different versions of events.
  19. sallypotter
    Yep small claims or go straight to local paper.
  20. sallypotter
    If earnings money not paid into bank account how can they prove? Its not what they know its what they can prove.
  21. sallypotter
    Not enforeceable unless sign on post indicating it legally enforceable. Take photos of there being no sign, then tell them it not enforceable. Chances are they will reply saying "this time we will let you off bull****." You watch that sign go up if they legally can enforce those bays.

    And tear it up in little pieces with the address showing so they get the messages.

    How can an employer justify asking for 3 years' salary back when you have a contract of employment saying you will be paid such and such for work undertaken? If you hadn't done the work after 1 month, 2 months'.......3 years' why would he have paid you? Absolute nonsense on the face of it. I wouldn't be worried at all, he'll hopefully be locked up for his fraud case though doubtful unless Local Authority, DWP, serious fraud which perhaps this fraud case is. He sounds like a right wide boy.

    sinkinghelp may have submitted 4 Appeal forms but that is probably not the reason at all for the delay. Back in August 2010 i submitted an appeal against a Council Tax bill for 2009/10. This appeal has been completely ignored. No acknowlegement, nothing. I have a receipt from the council concerned as i handed it in personally, so it has been received. The bill has not been paid by anyone, so i doubt this reason you suggest is the case at all. They don't know what to do is the answer and they think they can carry on in this inept way without dealing with the appeal. Sal

    With the right contacts he wouldn't have ended up in prison in the first place. Not justice. Working class youth gets criminal record for little bit of weed, middle class youth just being a silly boy, no action taken.Not equal.
