Namaste
I never assume they know what they are talking about! Still, it can be disconcerting when you are certain you qualify and are told you do not. We should not have to be benefits experts to get what we qualify for, but that seems to be the case. The EDP is important because I should have been receiving it for years and I will insist on it being backdated from 2014, although it should be backdated further.
I qualify for both the premiums. I meet the criteria and I won't be letting some DWP bod tell me I don't.
I've already told them about my living arrangements in my application but I guess they want to make sure.
I'll continue with it as there is a significant difference in income and in future, I may not receive it due to UC or other changes. Not sure if they will apply to me but it is possible.
Cheers for the input. Patience and all will come good.
