My mate has just had his application to have his benefit reinstated declined for the following reason:
"You did not request an appeal to the decision we made saying that you were not entitled to Disability Living Allowance because you no longer lived in Great Britain within one month of us telling you about it."
They stopped his benefit eight years ago when he moved to Spain!
and that in spite of the ruling of the European Court of Justice and the Rt. Hon. Rosie Winterton MP Minister of State for Pensions and the Ageing Society!(LOL!) reply to Roger Gale MP in the House of Commons:
"We have been clear that if people claimed the benefit before they moved abroad, they are entitled to continue to claim it." She obviously didn't tell the Department for Work and Pensions.
If anyone else has been similarly screwed please let me know - maybe together we can kick up a stink!!
