Unusual overpayment, false info on earnings declaration
Tue 25-Sep-07 09:14 AM |
My Client has an overpayment of Housing and Council Tax Benefit which he says was caused because his ex-employer gave the wrong information about his hours and pay, Client always worked 16 hpw and received same amount of wages each week, in cash so no bank statements, employer stated he was working some weeks 30, 35, 40 hpw. Client, who has mental health problems didn't keep all his wage slips for the required period so employer's earning declaration is taken as proof. Client has written to employer asking for information to be corrected but has not received a response (Client wrote in July). I am at a loss as to what to do, any ideas?
