It sounds really frustrating @racyguy. Well, I am here with a listening ear if you want to talk things through further with us.
Sometimes just sharing what is going on can be helpful. If that's the case, I am here for you and know many others are here for you too0 -

The conversation started with the Social Worker saying that he had concerns about my welfare and that he had tried to contact me by telephone. I told him that my welfare is none of his business, I have all of my marbles. He then asked if he could talk to my wife. I refused him as she was having a bath upstairs. The Council guy then wanted to know why I had recently closed down a CT Support claim and that he was aware that I was having problems with my CT account. There was never a CTS claim - I closed a Pension Credit claim. He then asked me why had I not made a CTS claim. That was my business not theirs. Then he asked if I would give him details of our income and he could complete a claim now.

The requirements for both are the same reporting all changes in income as and when they happen. The work that I would have to do to comply is far too stressful.
