Hi
Recently had a backdate request refused. Situ is the period April to July client was recovering from splitting up with partner. They were childhood sweethearts and had a child together, he disagreed with her going to college so they split. During the time from April to July she was at college and focused solely on that. I got a letter of support confirming emotional upset etc from college but no specfic dates (she was at college from sep to following July).
From July to Nov she started a new rel which almost immediately became abusive. It eventually became very abusive and by the following year he was in prison for attempted murder. However, she did not report abuse till much later so no evidence for July to Nov.
Any advice of how to proceed?
