Good Morning all,

My 2 boys well one is 23, the other 18, they both live at home and yes the youngest pays me 160.00 pm, 30 of that is for his mobile phone, the eldest lad who gets paid weekly will pay me £35.00 pw and then gives me the money for his car insurance when it falls due, and the same for his mobile phone bill!!

I've still got loads to sort out, but I have been selling on amazon the last 2-3 weeks, getting rid of all my old books, that just sit there gathering dust, and I have opened an e-bay account so I can start selling stuff on there as well, toget some extra income.
Oh well back to sorting myself out!
Hope every one has a better day than I'm having

Sounds like your doing very well getting things sorted Bettyboop well done.

Verbatim

If your OH was wrongly advised by the benefits agency he should be able to backdate the payments he should have had to the start of his claim. When I worked for the CAB (many moons ago) I once cited another agency who had misadvised a client citing "good cause for late claim" regulations and won him thousands in back benefit. Basically if someone relies on information from a person in a position of knowledge ( welfare rights adviser or benefits office adviser) and acts on the advice which later turns out to be incomplete or wrong then you have a good case for backdating any benefit you would have had if the original advice had been correct.

A trip to the CAB might prove helpful. I'm v. rusty but I don't imagine the legal foundations of the system have changed.

I hope this helps.
