Ex prisoner loosing benefit due to length of sentence Wed 21-Dec-05 01:25 PM
Wonder if anyone could help with this.
For the purposes of calculating benefit what is a day or what is a week?
A client Already in reciept of DLA is sentenced to a term of effectively 55.5 days due to the client not being sentenced until the afternoon. On release from prison he is judged to have spent 56 days in prison and because his claim is now 8 weeks or over he cannot now claim DLS because he hasn't enough National Insurance credits.
