I've done wrong

[ErikaPNP]

It certainly wouldn't hurt to call them. Just explain that you sent them an email but have not yet had a response and you are growing more worried. Make sure to note the name of the person you speak to (and the time of the call), and explain that you have called previously to try and stop your claim.

thank you

Hi again.... and thank you for the PM..

 

To be honest, I don't think you've done anything wrong at all. There was no break in the period mentioned via PM and the person in question is still within the age range for you to continue claiming for him providing there's no change in his status. As there hasn't been any change in his status, I can't see there's a problem. It makes no odds whether it was his intention to continue or not; the fact is that he did continue and as such, the status of your claim remains the same.

 

My own daughter was in the system right up until she turned 20 with no problem at all....

there was a change, see pm

there was a change, because he actually left one and started another, therefore he's started again (afresh).

 

.... but it's still continuous, regardless of the fact it's a different one.

The most important thing to sort out here is the fact that you're getting one Benefit but not the other; which shouldn't be happening. Write to each one and refer them to each other.... and that way, you'll get your answer.

One thing is for sure the longer you leave it the worse it will get.

Would be good to do recorded if can, or at least proof of posting which is free. With recorded you can atleast track it online to confirm delivery.

Surely will - pm's are open.

[ErikaPNP]

I've read your letter. From the information you have given in previous pm's to me, your letter is spot-on.

 

I'd strongly advise that if you can't get to a local HMRC office to get a signed for copy and receipt of your letter, that you send it by Royal Mail track and trace.

 

If you do send it via track and trace, the post office will give you a receipt. Keep hold of it and keep a copy of that letter. A few days after posting the letter, pop onto Royal Mail's website. Click on "personal customers", click on "Track an item" then enter the reference number on your receipt. The website will then show you from which office it was delivered and when. Print/save it. Then click no "view proof of delivery". This will bring up the signature and printed name of the person who signed for the item. Print/save that too. You can then show you sent them an item, they received it on X date and X person signed for it. You keep this until you receive a response from them at the very least, just in case there are any issues later on of non receipt.

thank you so much,

you're a star!

It's impossible to say. Some are audio recorded and some aren't. Some advisors make notes of the conversation, some don't (though they are all supposed to). The only one I know who audio records every single call is tax credits.

[worryingmore]

don't know if they have, i hope they have noted down what i said the last time i called them

 

thank you

I was very nervous, and managed to explain it all. The person that i spoke to was very nice- couldn't have wished for anyone better really.

 

Said that it is being put down in the best possible way for me, and that i was being honest with them. that someone would look at it and that they would let me know, also said that it could go either way, and that someone else would make the decision. (i think this means the decision as to whether i should get it)- well i hope that's what this means? said that they would investigate it- i hope this doesn't mean a naughty investigation?- this is worrying me a lot, and will do for goodness knows how long.

 

I hope that i've done the right thing. They could come down on me like a tonne of bricks, and all hell break loose; (mixing metaphors)!, despite how nice the person was today.

 

I know this is wishing my life away, but i wish it was this time next year and i felt settled and knew what had happened.

 

I don't feel any better having done it- i'm still off my head with worry. But this is the only way that I was going to bring an end to it all.

 

Erika and Priorityone, if/when you log on, can you post back to me please, i'm in need of a hug (& lots of diazepam)!

You really don't have much to worry about, it's certainly not a prisonable amount. If you really aren't entitled to it, they will say so and ask that you pay it back.

[worryingmore]

Hello

 

I'm worried that they might take action against me, & i don't know if i've dropped myself in it more than necessary.

 

Do you think that they will take action against me for this? Thing is, i don't know when to expect to hear from them, it could take ages if they're investigating it, I hope this doesn't mean a naughty investigation? This is what's worrying me the most.

 

What do you think they'll do? I could be waiting for ages to hear anything, and the longer they take, the more worried i'll get because i'll be thinking that they're going through everything to make a case against me.

You've read far too much into this..... it means a decision as to whether you'll get the money or not; not a decision to put your head on a spike.... lol...

 

Please calm down.... there is nothing to worry about.
