Not only wrong they are also incoherent.

Oh I meant in general, asking the wrong questions in the form for reporting.

The response blackstar has had is utterly incomprehensible and sounds like the DM is going by personal opinion rather than any guidance.

Indeed. Unfortunately, in my experience, it is far too common that when someone does not know the answer, they will have a preconceived idea of what the outcome should be and will then try to find some regulation or guidance to help justify that outcome, rather than seeking advice and support from someone more knowledgable.

Agree, every single DM or Advisor at UC either has zero clue about their own income/ disregards legislation or have just made something up about what they think which is completely irrelevant and wrong. 

He even said my childs DLA is not to be counted as but an adults DLA would be counted as capital, which is ofcourse totally wrong in both senses. As theres no different between a child's DLA and an Adults DLA and both are not capital but income until the end of the assessment period after the one in which they were received. But he seems to be saying the Adults DLA is capital the instance it goes into your bank account. Dear me. Honestly. 
Tribunal but looks like I will have to go alone as CAB are impossible to get an appointment with an and highly doubt they will know about this subject either.
