Hello Folks.
I know it's late on Friday, so i'm not expecting a response today - but if anyone could mull this over I would appreciate it.
Client is a Portuguese National. Has been in the UK for 9 years. Has worked on and off for the vast majority of this, but due to ill health has not worked for the past 18/24 month's, being supported by friends and charities.
Client made a claim for IB in 2006 and was awarded NI Credits only. The client then made a further claim for IS and ESA in September of this year - both were turned down.
The IS claim was refused because Wick have deemed him as being a 'person from abroad' and failing the RTR and HRT tests.
ESA was refused because he still has a 'live' IB claim.
I'm a bit puzzled as to how they have come to this decision, and would welcome any thoughts.
Jackie
