WTC Mandatory reconsideration

[23sopwith]

3 years ago changed from Fla to pip s

teps awarded lower rate of mobility took me off mid rate of personal care.

 

3 years have now passed had review been awarded enhanced mobility and enhanced personal care.

 

My wife is self employed and we received a working tax credit housing benefit and council tax relief.

 

We know we have to report our recent change in PIP to HMRC but will this also trigger a change to universal

Credit.

 

Your advice most welcome

No your PIP claim does not affect the UC claim.

You will stay on legacy benefits, until there is a either a significant change first e.g. change to Housing or Government transfer you to UC as part of a migration process.

Uc sorted teams of papers from council stating nothing

Had 2 payments from dwp by my reckoning back payment for higher rate of mobility. No relation to my normal payday.

Should I have received a letter or something notifying me that payments have been made into my account and explaining what they are for.

Reason for this question being the decision letter turned up on my doorstep hours after the post had been I don't want to fall fowl of if theft

Thanks

HMRC made mistake on wtc  hence overpayment the guy from HMRC told me how and when they had done it and included dates.

Is it worth doing or are HMRC just going through motions

All this started after we reported our change to HMRC via govt gateway

Wife started receiving extra wtc no papers as to why from HMRC 

Found out via council 're council tax and hb.

 

Skip to May this year act renewal firms came it states that wife was in receipt of disability premium plus severe benefit. This is wrong it's me

 

Completed renewal on line and pointed out the error as to who was in receipt of pip, still £178 per week coming to account.

Yesterday received £87 so checked via govt gateway and as of 28 June benefit cut to £87 per week.

 

Rang HMRC they said Cap had contacted them on 15 October last year and the award had been actioned and that they had entered wrong details .We had via Bob Gateway had reported correct facts as to disability, and it was marked closed already auctioned by them.

 

Advised by HMRC to ask for Mandatory Consideration.

I've of the opinion that I'm wasting my time.

 

Advice as to validity of claim, I understand a 30 day one limit applies.

It appears they are recovering op at 35 per week as entitlement is £ 122 per week no pork from HMRC 

 

Advice much appreciated thanks and sorry for being so long winded

How do I SAY HMRC and my local council neither appear to a writing it appears to me when they want something it's next day request but when they owe you something ie.the local authority "we will get around to it in due course" but don't forget to pay what we say you owe.

Day should be SAR

If you are not happy, use their complaints process and they will assign a complaint handler. By using complaints process, you should see issues resolved more quickly and you should receive letters which offer better explanations.

[23sopwith]

Thanks not received any letters from them since this fiasco started in Oct.2020

[unclebulgaria67]

Due to large backlog in work which will take a long time to deal with.

 

Put in a complaint, so your file is taken out of the backlog,  so your complaint can be dealt with.

One just read HMRC complaints procedure 

Is phone or hard copy better.
