confusion...cubed

I'm new to forum...but jumping right in cos have got a bit of a problem... I transferred from incap in 2012. esa form 3 landed...I have done what I do best and "blockt"memory from that period. ...they've asked for details sept-dec 2012. … As it happens(and even i'm surprised)I've found the letter detailing incap transfer...to esa.says contribution based with work group. £71 ..but with work top up in no loss of difference its £118. does anyone know if that would be a single person(lone parent)or a couple..?... cos the(swearword)partner left in a sept.but I cant remember if 2012 or 2013... I did call them but they want claim details...I don't know the exs details like ni no..he never had a job/savings tho and am surely not want to submit false info.i requested my info from the time asked on dwp freedom info site.got letter saying they had no details...ive freedom info requested my rent account details for this time..in vague hope they can help me work out if he wass here or not...I cant do numbers so attempting to fill in a form as if it was that long ago...is beyond challenging. ...I was also on dla middle n low mobrates) in receipt of child tax credits. would it even be likely they assessed wrong.i don't know what to do

I hope Poppy has been able to answer your question. Best of luck and I hope if you are owed any backdated monies from the transfer they sort it quickly for you.

living exp.£71.00
extra work related group £28.15
total £99.15
top up payment £19.80
included so there isn't a reduction to level of entitlement as result of change to esa.
do you think that reads as a single person rate?...
I can get my son to fill form in if so
seems to me-they prob already know...?

So. I called. I relayed above quote-and the man said. yes,we have paid the 82.50 to your account. I said. "why"... he said.."because thats the difference between what we paid you,and what you should have got"
I said "why should i have got it. He said,because thats what our calculations add up too.
I said.so..can you be more specific cos i still am clueless. .... was it a premium? gow did the money break down
He said..sept-5th october0.then 6yj october 2012-14 december.. . he said said,during the first period of this your partner claimed carers allowwance-.. he stopped claim when he left. i think he said sept-october 5th,then oct 6th to dec 2012 meant owe toy 82.50
so.. Is this it?do i have to do anything else?
what i was trying to say was. confusing tho...i asked the council rent for disclosure re my account in sept-dec 2012.//as that was the dates form referred to. i found my letter about incap switching to esa. ..as i suspected-that was ALSO the time frame for my ex leaving. /moving out.I was ill at that time..the rent payment info includes a visit from a housing officer.he had got his solicitor to inform council he was leaving,but hadnt bothered telling me. the lady came to fill out a housing benefit claim as..solictor letter said he had left. she repeatedly says she couldnt fill it out as i was shocked,confused and having panic attacks...)it also includes in the forms that ex had applied for carers allowance for supposedly looking after me..i dont know much about that,i seem to think because he informed them ..he didnt care..i somehow think my benefit increased..but im no sure

the housing details indicate they called at my home on 18/12/2012.i was confused and oblivious that ex partner had solictor lettered them indicating he was moved out.as i was distressed they felt inappropriate to continue house benefit form at thast time.on 9/1/13 it looks like they filled out and did imo referral to inform about benefits.
so. a)i only vaguely remember any of this happening. b)in the scheme of things would it make any difference. and should i print out the house stuff and send ie mandatory reconsideration-or is ex partner claim carers then leaving ,telling council before told me irrelevant.
