    Legal advice is banned sitewide for good reasons.

    Not looking for legal advice on site have a solicitor for that !!!

    want to know if any others are in similar circumstances and what happened, as this is new territory for us...

    You explicitly stated you wanted legal advice. If you wish to discuss the social welfare behaviour, there's the state benefits forum:
