To be fair, claiming the allowance through HMRC isn't exactly difficult. 

Any union presence?

I agree that the claim from HMRC is not difficult.

It is not the same, though.

The employer can pay £6 per week and all received without incurring income tax or NI.  Costs the employer to do this.

A claim from HMRC can only recover the income tax, not the full amount.

I think this should be highlighting something to the OP. I think one of their initial posts suggested that financially it wasn't (shouldn't be) making a difference to them. It struck me as a bit odd at the time but my brain was a bit fuddled. 

Maybe it's time to shake the union membership up?
