RE: Income Support for 19 year old?
Mon 12-Mar-07 04:06 PM |
The most important thing to do at this stage is actually lodging an income support claim, so that your client at least obtains a decison refusing her benefit - otherwise, there is no legal basis for challenging the seemingly incorrect advice from the Jobcentre.
There are many threads on RN testifying to how difficult it can be actually getting hold of a claim form from Jobcentre Plus these days but if she continues to encounter problems, try to speak to the manager of the Office - they have no right to prevent your client completing a claim form and asking for a decision to be made.
