I'm looking for advice, please bear with me, thanks.
I recently separated from my husband, I left. I'm claiming job seekers allowance for myself alone but the higher rent allowance rate as our two children stay with me half the time.
I have done a small bit of work for cash from home for some time but it has never been enough to survive on.
I got a letter from the community welfare officer 2 weeks ago stating that my claim had been suspended pending investigation they were looking for my bank details, a form to be completed by my employer and for self employment and details of my partners income.
I have been seeing someone but he is not my "partner", he has his own house and doesn't live with me, we are only together a few months.
Apparently there was a complaint that I was working and living with someone. Clearly this complaint was by someone being malicious as the breakup with my husband was quite difficult, I have my suspicions. someone has been watching the house and saw my boyfriends car from time to time.
Citizens information said I am not allowed to know who made the complaint...IS THIS TRUE??
I got a letter from the person who gives me the work saying I don't work for him and never have also I have the CWO my bank details, they thought there was a lot of money going in but it was easily explained.
she and a colleague arrived at my house the following day unnannounced, clearly in my opinion to catch me out, i have been doing some work voluntarily of late and was requested to provide a letter to this effect which i since have done. unfortunately my boyfriend was at the house when they arrived and they were incredibly rude to him, I was very distressed and upset by this and would like to complain only I don't want this to affect my claim. They also questioned why I left the family home and not my husband. IS THIS ANY OF THEIR BUSINESS?
I was approved for emergency rent allowance pending a separation agreement as the house is in my name, thus knowing this I rented a house, borrowed the deposit and signed a 12 month lease. ARE THEY ALLOWED TO GO BACK ON THIS DECISION EVEN THOUGH IT WAS APPROVED AT THE TIME?
ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SHOW UP UNANNOUNCED LIKE THIS??
After I have put money in the bank to make sure I can meet my commitments I have had 10 euro to live on each week for the last 2 weeks. I'm cold and I can't afford oil. My sister lives 30 miles away and has been really ill and I can't afford the petrol to visit her.
HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS USUALLY TAKE AND WITHOUT HARD EVIDENCE CAN THEY REALLY CUT ME OFF? CAN THEY DO THAT ON JUST A COMPLAINT?
DOES SNOOPING AND SPYING AND STALKING COME UNDER THE JOB DESCRIPTION OR AM I JUST BEING PARANOID? ARE THEY JUST OFFICE PEN PUSHERS OR IS THERE MORE TO THE JOB THAN THAT?
thanks
any advice appreciated.
