Disability Question

    Hi,

    Hopefully someone can help me here.

    I was awarded Disability and I had moved into my own place with the help of Rent Allowance. The long and the short of it is I moved back home to live with a relative due to health reasons. I informed the SWO of the situation and sent a letter to the Disability section as advised by the SWO. However just recently my Disability got stopped. When I called about it I was treated so rudely I was in tears by the end of the call. Absolutely no need for it especially after doing everything I was supposed too.

    This very rude person told me that they never received my letter and that an officer had gone out to check I was at my old location, which of course by then I wasn't. Hense my payment got stopped.

    So my questions are.

    Now that I have called and squared away my address, how long will it be before someone comes out to do another interview at my new location?

    Will I be advised by letter that they are coming out? So that way I can make sure I have all my paper work ready and be in of course!

    I will have to travel outside of the country for a couple of weeks, so can I have my disabilty put on hold, incase I am longer than expected? Obviously I realize there would be no back pay when I came back.

    If they stop my payment altogether due to travel, will I ever be able to get it again?

    Are you sure it was not just your rent allowance that was stopped ? They do call out about twice a year to check you live where they are paying the rent for. They have no right to stop your D A.
