AH now in trouble with DHSS....
Hi everyone,
Sorry i've not been on for a while but i had surgery on my knee and am hobbling around on full leg brace and 2 crutches!
I applied for income support when my ex left about 2 months ago, I told him he must not sign on as I had told dhss he had left, he signed on twice but did ring to tell them in between and was told to sign on as normal and split the money! anyway yesterday he went to jobcentre and tried to wort it out but they just made him fill in job seeker app, he needs incapacity as he is due to have dtox in the Royal free hospital any day now, so that was a waste of his time.
I then got home visit today asking for statement saying he was not living with me, i did this and told them of his detox and showed them his hospital and counsillor's letters, she told me not to worry. He then rang a little later to say he'd been thrown off benefit and told he can not claim anything ever again, I know he has caused this himself with the drinking but i am worried this will push him over the edge, his blood is so bad the detox place he was goin refused him which is why he is going into hospital for it now.
Does anyone know if this can be done? Can they throw him off and he be entitled to nothing? He only signed on twice and did try to tell them the change of circumstances, I have emailed our local MP, he was even turned away by council even though he is homeless.
How is the rehab going to work if he thinks he will be destitute when he comes out,
Any advice would be gratefully recieved,
Thankyou
