Hi
I have a client who was found fit for work and lost her appeal at Tribunal. During the appeal they claimed appeal rate IS. I applied for a set-aside which was granted and the rescheduled appeal was upheld in my client's favour.
In the period between the set-aside and the second hearing, partner claimed JSA and then moved to ESA. IS are now refusing to pay arrears of disability premium beyond the first hearing because the claim was closed down and there were other conflicting benefits in payment.
Anyone know whether this is correct? Could JSA cover the dp for the time partner was claiming it? As there's no dp for ESA, is there any way to get the arrears back?
Any help very much appreciated
