Further to the above and several other threads.
Is it me or do the answers to 359 and 364 contradict themselves???
If the claimant has told you they they have
moved, but not where to, you should
terminate the claim. If you have found out
about the move from a source other than the
claimant and there is doubt, you should
consider suspension whilst you do your own
checking.
Answer 359
You are correct. With the demise of benefit
periods there will no longer be any power
for authorities to end entitlement for
changes of address within the authority’s
area. These will be dealt with using the
changes of circumstance provisions in reg 68.
Answer 364
It maybe that I’ve taken them out of context, but it doesn’t make it any easier to explain to staff.
