Being told to attend face to face at job centre or claim will be closed because of PIP back payment.

Thanks again, that is very useful.

It refers to reopening a claim after it's been ended due to employment (earnings), but may still work in the same way if cancelled by the claimant for personal reasons.

It would be fairer if that also applied when cancelled by savings going above the top threshold, but so far that is not the case. I wouldn't be so concerned about this situation if it was.

Not you as well. 🙁

Sorry, I don't really know what to suggest. As I keep saying on here, I update mine every month and it just gets done automatically without any acknowledgement, let alone needing proof.

If I was asked for proof then I'd be putting messages in the journal to say that I physically can't manage it (which is true in my case, I have not been able to travel for years now) but it does seem like they may be tightening up on this across the country now. I'm not that far away from the £16k myself now, so I could manage for a while if I lost UC due to this. But that really isn't the point, we get LCWRA because of our limitations, which should be taken into account by benefits services and adjustments made accordingly where necessary.

My council cut off CTR at £10k. I'm also getting around £100 a month capital deduction on UC. But even with those, I'm still getting enough excess to put me over £16k by the autumn unless my situation changes dramatically in the meantime. (Or changes to LCWRA or PIP happen, or UC cancel my claim because I can't manage a personal visit for bank statements.)

If I can move before then, then it should level off and reduce the capital by spending on furniture and white goods etc. But currently I'm having to plan as if I'm still in this flat for the forseeable future.
