It seems to be back dated going on other people's situations I've seen. I asked on another forum for a name of a deciding officer and wrote to him asking for a review, he called me within an hour of my letter arriving in the office and went through it all with me. We were refused again...over 70c!
It was the same when I called, I was told to reapply 3 times, by the lady on the phone, even though there was no change in circumstances and I would have lost 24 weeks arrears!
Its such crap as the guidelines say they will use your current payslips and to supply all information etc. Then they use what ever combination of payslips that will deem you not entitled. It should be the previous years P60 for every one, but for me the first time they used the previous 42 weeks, I have been reduced to part time from full time so the weekly income figure was way higher than my current week wages.
