Just had exact same thing happen to me (I'm 57 too). Get G24 form from Job Centre then go to Citizens Advice. They will complete it for you and give you the name/address/phone number of a Society in your area who will help you should it go to appeal. The G24 is the first step and is asking for the decision to be re-visited. Also, you should apply for either Working Tax Credits if you/your partner are working or Pension Tax Credits if your partner is of Pension age. If neither of these benefits apply to you, you could apply for Income Support.

Hope this helps. Barb xxx

Hello Barbykins, what a genuinely helpful answer, well done you!

p.s. should society read solicitor? If not, what sort of society, it's the only bit I didn't understand?

hugs, kate
