    Well if challenged I am least willing to try to defend it.
    From the HMRC guidance work not paying for the claim merely understandably weakens the case it does not invalidate it.

    In our case these kind of expenses were the least of our worries we were all moved onto pay reductions, the option was either take that or get your statutory redundancy, not blaming my employer we had basically no revenue in our sector for a year, the company was in survival mode and they had no interest in paying for any work expenses for the same reason. If I end up being challenged I will go to HR and they can help out with crafting a response as they advised the claim in the first place.
    Have a read of EIM31650 and EIM31647.  


    I will see if it gets challenged anyway, if it does get successfully challenged then I will see if the company can be bullied into making some kind of contributin now that the outlook for the business is a little brighter, I won't be holding my breath though.
