I would suggest there are very few cases where a short or no AIP has been set rather than “many”.
I also take issue with this idea of just suspending payment. This power is very specific and limited. It should not be used unles the LA has very clear grounds. What if the Pension Service takes 6 months to respond? Subsequent appeal etc. may take a year or so. I do not dispute Mark is right in this instance but it does appear to me from a number of threads that many LA’s are going to suspend first and ask questions latter. Much latter.
