Ok so she didnt go in the office reg..... but some caseworker mustve known who she was and whether she was eligable.

Secondly, i know you can live where you want and claim housing benefit, but there is a cap on the AMOUNT thus she cant be asking for £2,000 per week rent and must be living in "cheaper" housing

If she was living in an "£2,000 per week" flat and only claiming £166 a week rent but making up the rest herself.... then it meant her earnings were too high to claim in the first place

Hope i am making sense!!

Anyway, without being technical my basic point is that ALARM BELLS should have rung EARILER!
