Overpayment oF HB due to non-dep charge.
Im looking for a little guidence with this case.My client allowed her mother to use her address as a postal one for her Incapacity Benefit. LA have now informed my client that they are treating her mother as staying there and have applied a non-dep charge from 2007. The mother has never resided there and has written a letter to that effect. I have appealed the decison but the non-dep charge is still being applied currently. Should we submit a new claim, but this will only show the same details as the curent claim. Obviously this is adding to the rent arrears already caused by this retrespective decision.
