A new award of Savings Credit, that leads to a reduction in HB/CTB should be actioned by LA from Mon foll date of receipt of notification from PS.
Therefore, all new award ETD’s received week comm 29/3/04 will not be effective on claims until 5/4/04. However, due to this problem with ETD’s not being able to produce ETD’s for multiple changes, the only notification that is coming from ETD is rate comm 6/10/03.
Are LA’s going to use this figure (which will be pre Apr 04 uprated figures for SRP’s etc when we have already now uprated all standard case pensioners for new financial yr)?
I have been in contact with LAST today, and we are only going to receive the multiple change scans monthly (next one due around 6/4/04).
This means we have been notified of an award of Savings Credit say 30/3/04, do we use this figure in assessment wef 5/4/04, then say uprating details received 1/5/04 would we go back and create a DWP overpayment as the uprating is effective 1/4/04?
