Random Task in journal

trb10

So today I got a message telling me to check my journal. In it is a request for my salary for the 6 months prior to my claim. It seems a bit of a weird request and there is no explanation for it. I can only assume it's connected to the tribunal I won last month in connection with TP.

My claim started March 2023, They want salary info from July 2022

Usually they ask for 9 months of earnings which is because of the 9 month grace period for the benefit cap. I don't know of any other reason why they would ask for 6 months.

July to March is 9 months if you include both months, so that should add up it seems?

Still can't get any sense as to why they want it though. They've also recalculated my statements with some being underpaid and some overpaid. I'm totally bewildered by it all and the journal replies aren't addressing my question.

It's difficult to advise without see your statements. For this reason I'd advise you to get some expert advice from an agency near you. Welfare Rights is someone I'd recommend.
