Tax Credits renewal - Annual Review - what a load of rubbish!

[fedupandold]

A friend has brought round his Annual Review form which states that he must confirm the information by the 4th August 2013.

 

He is a married guy (33 years), was self employed working 31 hours a week for 4 years up to 31st March 2013 when he ceased.

He notified Revenue & Customs that he had ceased self employment.

 

I just couldn't believe what I was reading:

 

Step A

 

Mr*******

Date of Birth ****

Total hours worked in a week 40

Qualified for Disability Element

 

Mrs*****

Date of Birth *****

 

Step B

 

Started receiving Attendance Allowance at the Higher Rate from 10th May 2012

 

Claim ended 28th March 2013 that you told us that you were no longer living together as a couple.

 

Now unless his wife has moved out and he doesn't know about it or she has secretly divorced him, there is not a lot I can say. As for working 40 hours a week, he couldn't do 37 so had to retire!

 

At the end of the day none of this actually makes any difference for his final year of WTC's so should he just ignore these gaffs or should he be pedantic and demand to know where all of this information has come from?

If the information is inaccurate then I think it should be amended and if it were me, I would most certainly want to know where they got such information from.

 

It would be too awful if this incorrect information caused him grief in obtaining future benefits.
