Thanks again for your advice Welfarite.
He called me in to the SWO to discuss any earnings I had from the previous year, to calculate my arrears and he said he had to assess my accommodation and use of car as way of means. He was referring them to 'Benefit in Kind'.
The hearing got heated, as he was put under a bit of pressure from me and the Appeals Officer, about his fictitious reports and errors in his reports. I had evidence that the inspector made the decision to 'disallow' my payment and it was not the decision of the Deciding Officer. However, it was disregarded by the AO but he was still not happy about that. After the hearing, the inspector stormed out of the room without shaking hands to anyone in the room, including the Appeals Officer.
I really don’t know what to do now. I do feel there is a conflict of interest. If I request a different inspector to deal with my case, how do I know that he is not overlooking it? Would they even grant my request?
How can I challenge him with regards to the assessment of means? Can they be assessed as ‘Non-cash benefits’?
Thanks again.
