means test officer gave most of the details i gave her in a incorrect manner to deciding officer,so was not allowed J.A.i happen to get through to the deciding officer after many calls.when i pointed the inaccurate info she was surprised to say the least.she asked me to send in the info directly to her,and i did.thats the last contact i had with her.i sent away same info to the appeals office just to be sure. ...........my wife income was taken down wrong,i also unregistered as self employed last october to take up direct employment with a company in mid november.this fell through so after no luck getting work i signed on in december 12.my wife take home is 350 p.w . less now after budget. also my income this year was assessed at something ridicolous even though im not self employed any longer. i showed the deregistration letter at means test also.we have 1 home [mortgage 740 p.m ] 1 car now. no kids yet.........commuinity welfare officer said ENTITLED to nothing. i was talking to a woman in the queue at c.w.o clinic and later in aldi she got 3500 to rig out a house with curtains ,washing machine,baby stuff..etc cant understand how this welfare system worksI did many years ago.
I won. The local SW inspector was very sore for a long time afterwards.
What sort of decision are you appealing?
i .my wife take home is 350 p.w . less now after budget.
Can you please use proper punctuation? Your post is very hard to read.means test officer gave most of the details i gave her in a incorrect manner to deciding officer,so was not allowed J.A.i happen to get through to the deciding officer after many calls.when i pointed the inaccurate info she was surprised to say the least.she asked me to send in the info directly to her,and i did.thats the last contact i had with her.i sent away same info to the appeals office just to be sure. ...........my wife income was taken down wrong,i also unregistered as self employed last october to take up direct employment with a company in mid november.this fell through so after no luck getting work i signed on in december 12.my wife take home is 350 p.w . less now after budget. also my income this year was assessed at something ridicolous even though im not self employed any longer. i showed the deregistration letter at means test also.we have 1 home [mortgage 740 p.m ] 1 car now. no kids yet.........commuinity welfare officer said ENTITLED to nothing. i was talking to a woman in the queue at c.w.o clinic and later in aldi she got 3500 to rig out a house with curtains ,washing machine,baby stuff..etc cant understand how this welfare system works
p.w = per week
Caveat
I think the OP means "wife's takes home pay was 350 per week and is now less than that since the Budget".
Am I reading this wrong
i agree with you. it would seem that to work at all you are crucified but make a career of living on welfare and you are as well off if not better off.CWO's seem to have a very blinkered view at times. If a spouse is working at all regardless of income (i.e. it could be a part time job paying €100 a week) you will get nothing from a CWO. It is ironically often better for someone to stop working and they would receive more from a CWO that way.
