RE: Does an existing HB claim count as a valid claim for CTB?

HB Specialists - I like your argument, it's interesting.
Putting aside the specifics of this case for a moment though, I wonder if it really helps? Let's assume CTB was claimed and a decision was never made, so as you say the CTB claim is still outstanding. The date of claim will still be 'way back when', and they will not entitled to benefit from the Monday following the date of claim, the designated start date.
There is the possibility that the still-outstanding claim could be treated as an advance claim, but only if they will be entitled within 13 weeks of their claim.
So, appealing though this idea of a long-lost, still-outstanding claim is, won't they still have to treat it as made back when they were not liable for Ctax, or at best only 13 weeks before they became liable?
