"URGENT: I received a phone call today demanding I be subject to another review a year after entering into a formal complaint through my M.P about having to produce statements and give details of individual purchases to an adviser (M.P Case Ref: DP1316). Your adviser was unaware of this and said my selection was random. At the moment both my physical and mental health concerns are overwhelming (to which my physicians and other support will attest). I simply do not have the resources necessary to be put under such pressure at this time. I have a stress related self-harm condition & COPD. I formally request you cancel this review for the foreseeable future (at least a year)."
Posted in my U.C journal today.
"...told me that they were only doing an I.D check but asked me specific details about specific purchases and withdrawals …as part of my “enhanced review” I had to present all my bank statements for the previous three months and a host of other stuff…all (so the DWP maintain) part of an I.D check": https://www.arafel.co.uk/2025/11/the-imposters-award-winning-puppet-show.html

Nb. Please be advised all that Housing Ombudsman Case ID - 202319968 [REF/JR/rR/qY/NY/] made both a "maladministration" & "severe maladminstration" ruling in my favour against Southampton Unitary Authority (re: asbestos -& other contaminants- in my tenancy) with the help of both UNITE Community and Spectrum Centre for Independent Living I am now attempting to achieve a private settlement for my injuries. My health has deteriorated and a severe dental problem is now complicating my COPD, MSK and neurological condition and excacerbating my already v.poor (self-harm) emotional/psychological condition. My bank affairs are only partially accessible on-line & production will mean extra stress (for which I do not currently have the luxury of advocacy to help with and will have to seek further in order to cope) I hope, therefore, that you will not seek production of statement at this time. As was explained this is a "random" assessment so given that I made full production last year (undergoing the process of which resulting in M.P Complaint Case Ref: DP01316) I hope that you will see the sense of not subjecting my claim to further scrutiny. I will, therefore, refrain from production of any further statements until I have received response to this and my previous journal entry on the subject. Thank you.
