Help! Have a client whom helped with a Baumbast appeal in July for IS. Whilst appeal was being decided, c claimed JSA so coud have an money coming in. Appeal won.
After appeal, on advice of chair, waited a month after reasons supplied before trying to move c from JSA to IS. IS have paid small amount they owe him for few weeks up until his JSA claim was made, but there seemed no way out of having to make a new claim for IS, as there was no current claim to supersede. Did this and sent c for interview with copy of decision notice of appeal to demonstrate that he had a right to reside.
Now had decision on "new" claim saying he not entitled as he not got the right to reside! IS saying that tribunal decision is about a previous claim (although nothing changed in c circs between 2 decisions) and therefore not relevent to the new decision.
Appealing again, and c got no money. So, again having to advise that he needs to think about applying for JSA (although trying for CL first)
Has anybody got any ideas how to break this cycle??
