    Dr Dragon may contact them on Monday and find out why they made this decision without the information! See how it goes after that

    Thanks Taxi - we are hoping that the corner is being turned and hopefully the worst is over now!

    At least I am sleeping again now (um a bit too much maybe! I had to go back to bed this afternoon, then again I did overdo it on Friday so maybe I am suffering from that *sigh*)

    Okay the Council gave us until the 17th to find out the terms and conditions of ownership of the time share (which is in hand) and then decided without the information that it is classed as another full time property and we therefore do not qualify for Council Tax benefit :confused::mad:

    How can they call it a full time property? Doesn't the name 'time share' give it away that you don't have it all year! :confused:

    They have decided that as my mum & step-dad are moving every 2 weeks (which is a condition of their canal cruising license) that they are not looking for a job and have stopped it! Never mind there are no jobs where they are, but plenty where they are headed! :mad: Madness!

    This is the problem with "Rules" - it eliminates common sense.

    Hope Dr Dragon gets them to see sense re the timeshare - but why on earth do they say supply docs by the
    and then just make a decision without the docs!

    Thanks Raph and peb - yep we should find out tomorrow about the time share and then Dr Dragon is going to phone the Council and appeal their decision!

    In the meantime we are thinking S.O.D them! and just getting on with getting Dr Dragon's work and life sorted out!

    okay how things stand - the Time Share people are dragging their feet (every time I phone I speak to the same person and I have to go through the whole flipping explanation again!), we have been asking for them to send the correct information through since the beginning of July (they have Dr Dragon's name wrong), in other news some time today the independent HR person should have her report to Dr Dragon's workplace so see what happens then (we think he will either go back because the bullying is sorted OR they give him a decent payout and he leaves - oh and he knows the types of pay outs others in the company have had so they can't fob him off).

    One good piece of news - another 1.5 pounds less of me as of today!
