Reassessment - ** TRANSFERRED BACK TO SUPPORT GROUP **
aw248 replied to aw248's topic in Benefits and HMRC
Hi everyone, Just an update I've been to the tribunal last week and my appeal was allowed. The tribunal transferred me back to the support component and recommended the department does not reassess me within 24 months. I hope the government do something to sort this problem out and not waste taxpayers money. Thanks to everyone who helped me. -
