Some two years ago now my husband was in effect put under investigation
as the rules for therapeutic working had changed and it was discovered
he was earning over the limit. We never had any letter to advise us the
rules had changed. He was in the process of being admitted to hosptal
when the two yearly review forms arrived and we each filled a form in
but our figures did not tally so I think we appeared to be
fraudsters.After awaiting a decision for weeks he was told he must be
signed off and re-apply. He had been on a higher rate incapacity
benefit so we had his benenfit cut by £150.00 per month. The result of
our appeal AND a letter to the Minister for the Disabled produced no
results other than a report of what the findings had been.Do I just
have to let it lie or is there any help I can enlist that would get us
justice please? They impounded his book and thereby " stole " some
£450.00 in back dated money he had felt too ill to collect. I work
full-time so we do not qualify for legal aid.
