I note that you say that the DWP accessed your bank details for two years and you were subject to an interview under caution.

Are the DWP continuing to pursue suspected fraud action against you?

The investigation is finished. I have just got to see what the outcome of the tribunal is? I have nothing to hide but I would rather have someone with me who knows what they are doing, or they will probably rip me to pieces.

Regrettably if you cannot find a representative you will end up having to speak for yourself at the hearing. However....

You mention having appealed but got nowehere ibn relation to the income which you explain here relates to dogs

I dont know when that was , whether you have a case for appealing the decision or not so for present purporses I am assuming that is 'history' but the DWP may try and influence the new tribunal with adverse findings from that previous appeal

You will need your mother (preferably there) to say you borrowed money from her, and so on and on. You need to explain yourself and where possible back it up with evidence

The fact that you are not being prosecuted after an interview under caution is at least a relief but I do not know the reasons why . In cases below a certain level, or where a claimants mental health would be badly affected they do not prosecute. I am offering a very rough explanation late at night and I'm tired However, others here may have alternative suggestions but there is the Community Legal Service that some other members of B and W know theb contact details for, and they may have advice locations you have not thought of or know about I don't know

Mod edit: thread merged as it is the same subject

Thank you for clarifying the position regarding the suspected fraud enquiries. However, you case is still quite complex and beyond the remit of this forum.

Unfortunately we cannot offer advice to individuals about a specific benefits problem under any circumstances. To give accurate and reliable advice about a specific benefits problem, we'd need to know a great deal about your income, savings, health, household arrangements and more. To give advice without all this information would seriously risk misinforming you.

You certainly need face-to-face advice and possibly representation at your forthcoming appeal tribunal.

To find assistance in your area please see Community Legal Advice.

Am I missing something here?.
I am under the impression that DLA is not a means tested benefit-am I correct?.-but income support is?.
many thanks/
