Hello everyone,
I have recently found rightsnet and this is my first ever post. Please can you help me I have never come across such large and extensive recovery from shedules before and I am unsure of what LA 's can and cannot do. My most recent case (i,e,yesterday) our LA reclaimed nearly £700 for one tenant from our schedule because they have received returned post from the tenants address. One of my staff was advised "the decision was taken on 02.10.09 to end her benefit because of the returned post".
My question is, can they do this? We have not had any formal cancellation of benefit or a housing benefit overpayment notice?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thank you Jackie
