I wrote to council last September to tell them about change of circumstances, which was, my son finished college and is 18 so he is classed as a non dependant. I get the daily living component of PIP so my benefits are not reduced because of a non dependant living with me. A week ago I got a letter from council asking what my sons situation is, I phoned them to tell them I wrote and gave this info last September and they said they didn't get it. I don't owe them any council tax and housing benefit but am worried what will happen. I am disabled and bipolar and suffer from very bad depression. I have posted before about this, but didn't word it well, anyone got any idea what will happen?

The DWP rely on the fact that anything sent by them to a claimant is deemed to have arrived within 48 hours of posting.
Surely the same should apply to information sent by a claimant?
