  1. I would really appreciate anyone's assistance and understanding in a very distressing time for myself and my three young children aged five, three and two. I was in receipt of income support and in July 2011 i was called in to my local Jobcentre for an interview under caution as it had been alleged "that i was living with a partner" the interviewers were a representative from the D.W.P and a representative from my local Council. At the interview, paperwork was produced from the representatives. The paperwork was that of the father of two of my children where he had fraudulently used my address to obtain credit because of his serious gambling problem of which i explained at the interview. on the 7th September 2011 a decision maker wrongly decided that the father of my childrem was living with me when he was most defiantly not from 11/07/2008 to 01/04/2010 and from 30/03/2011 untill the end of my claim, my income support ceased from the 4th October 2011. on the 29th September 2011 i received a letter stating that owe £22453.23 when i received this letter i actually passed out from the shock of such a concerning letter when i knew that the D.W.P had made such a terrible mistake. I also requested on this date for the second time any alleged evidence to be sent to myself as i had only a limited amount of time to appeal the above decision. On the 6th October i sent an appeal form to the relevant department with still not having received any alleged evidence to appeal this incorrect decision with an attached letter,again asking for any alleged evidence. On the 11th October the father of my children sent a letter to the appeals department detailing that he has never nor does he currently live at my address and categorically stating that he has fraudulently used my address to obtain credit. On the 19th October 2011 i sent a letter to the appeals department asking for my appeal to go tribunal service and again requested for any alleged evidence and i also mentioned about my health deteriorating. A letter dated 29th October 2011 was received by myself advising me that the appeals dept had received my appeal. A letter dated 2nd November 2011 was finally received by myself,nearly two months after the decision was made, asking me to fill out a a form to request my alleged evidence of which i filled out and sent back on the 10th November 2011, not allowing myself to refute the alleged evidence before i had to sent back my appeal. On the the 7th January 2012 i received a letter stating that my appeal had been sent the tribunal service i thought finally my case would be heard by the tribunal service and i would get some closure on the matter. On the 28th February 2012 i wrote a complaint, how long it had taken to sent my appeal papers to the tribunal service and i also quoted the customer charter for the d.w.p ( Right treatment, right result, on time and easy access) Stating that the customer charter had not been followed. I then received a letter dated 8th March 2012 stating that a the original decision was revised on the 6th march 2012 James by changing the dates stating from 11/07/2008 to 01/04/2010 and from 26/04/2010 to 03/08/2010 and from 11/10/2010 to 08/02/2011 i was not entitled to income support and therefore the tribunal service sent back my original appeal as it was not for these dates. I then Received a letter dated 12th March 2012 from a customer service manager regarding my complaint on the 28th February 2012 stating that my appeal had been sent to the tribunal service on the 7th of January and to await for contact from the tribunal service. On the 21st of March 2012 i then wrote a letter back stating that i had not heard anything from the tribunal service and asked her is she could chase it up of which i received no reply. On the 28th May 2012 another decision was made, changing the dates yet again to 01/09/2009 to 01/04/2010 and from 26/04/2010 to 03/08/2010 and from 11/10/2010 to 08/02/2011 and from 30/03/2011 to the end of my claim, delaying my appeal again going to the tribunal service. I have provided evidence that he has not lived at my address and does not, in my original appeal in October 2011 and my last appeal dated 14/06/2012 * Letter from his Grandmother stating that he stayed at her address. * Letter from his Freind Stating that he Stayed at his Address * A letter from my mother stating that he Stayed with my now deceased uncle to help him with his daily tasks as he was terminally ill. * A copy of my Son Birth Certificate stating his address at an army barracks when he was in the army. * My daughters Birth Certificate giving his address as his Grandmothers address as mentioned above. * A letter from himn stating that he never lived at my address in great detail. * A letter from Barclays plc Stating that he never lived at my address. * A copy of my bank statement to prove i paid for all the shopping during the time the D.W.P are claiming for. Myself and my children were nearly evicted from my home on the 11th July 2012 for non payment of my mortgage, as myself and my children have been left destitute and if my brother and credit companies had not lent me money, myself and my children would be homeless and starving by now. I was also taken to court on the 17th May 2013 on two charges of benefit fraud one by the Council and one by D.W.P as a result of this accusation and i was found NOT GUILTY of all charges. I have applied for Income support twice since this started once on the 28th June 2012 and was told i am not allowed income support until i declare i have changed my circumstances and declare he no longer lives with me, when he never did. I am not going to falsely declare something as this is fraud and so i was not granted income support. I have applied again for income support on the 28th May 2013 and again have been told the same. A week after my trial when i was found not guilty i received a letter from the D.W.P stating i now owe £16327.19 when i received this letter i was physically sick. the Council have now dropped everything and reinstated my council tax benefit and my single persons occupancy for the period concerned and stated in a letter that on the balance of probabilities he was not living at my address. The D.W.P have now finally submitted my appeal to the tribunal service and i have been advised it can take up to 11 weeks for my appeal to go to tribunal. I have now exhausted all my money borrowing options and owe and considerable amount of money and don't know what else i can possibly do. I recently got admitted to hospital with severe abdominal pains and severe vomiting, my white blood cell count is high and high amylase in my blood. They performed an ultrasound to investigate and could not find any abnormality, my consultant said he believes the reason is severe stress and anxiety and my blood should go back to normal when the stress is over. As you can appreciate this process has been going on for nearly two years in July and i have been without financial assistance since October 2011, myself and my three children are experiencing exceptional hardship and have been for a long time and as you are now aware my health is deteriorating and that in itself is having a negative impact on my children
