UK Benifits after moving to Aus
Just thought I would share this story in case others are in a similar position.
We moved out to Aus last Feb & for about 1 year after we kept receiving some kind of UK benefits, mainly child allowances & sorts. Anyhow we kept calling the inland revenue telling them to stop & that we aren't living in the UK but the money kept coming.
Anyhow earlier this year someone there finally listened to us & the payments stopped. We then got through a letter asking for all the money back. So we supplied them with all the times dates, letters etc of us informing them of our situation. Yesterday we got a letter from them saying they basically cocked up & we can keep the cash
