Client has shared care and gets ctc but not cb. Therefore no dep allowance or family premium in benefit calcs. As he's on IB this has a big impact on his award.
I currently have a stayed appeal awaiting a decion on other similar cases currently before the commissioer.

My understanding is that several such cases are still under consideration by Cmmrs (now Upper Tribunal). One or two have been outstanding for months and months. So, you're not going mad - it's just taking an eternity....
