Re: FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS / DLA / ADEQUATE MAINTENANCE

That's regarding the border police. You've not even lodged an appeal which is what you need to do. Even if it's late send an appeal in stating it's late as you'd asked the ECM to reconsider first. Maybe i will do this. Do you know 100% if they are wrong in saying i cannot use my benefits towards ...

Re: FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS / DLA / ADEQUATE MAINTENANCE

An appeal is your time a court. If you appeal the ECM will also review the decision. The IPCC is for police complaints :shock: Also, would you not have to go through the often terrible assessments for your disability benefits again in Ireland? On the ukvi website it says you can complain to IPCC ...

You won't be applying for anything to do with Ireland if you're going to stay in NI.
