24 month rule - This is different!

Erm. Nope. Sorry.


I get what you are saying but that's moving the goal posts too far. The fact of the matter is its 1k. Can't get away from that as that the basis of my argument.



Yep I get you again. There is a fine line between seeking opinions and desperately looking for the answer he wants but you are right. The knowledge of the OP is clouding that one. Remember I'm not the only one thats said the same thing TBH. Matters not but thought I would point that out.



Indeed. This is PC and the thread has turned into another PC life blog of which many of us are sadly aware. You're quite new so have a proper perspective on the situation to be fair to all good points

Am sure whatever infraction the mods will bestow upon me for not putting him on ignore again will remind me.

You're best mate in the whole world NLUK.

NLUK wouldn't be best mates with someone with those morals.

His missus would though!

Oh and IMO knowing the OP there isn't a snowballs chance in hell the OP is going to pay it back so not really sure why the thread is still going TBH.

Harsh NLUK. Yeh as you know I dont like giving away or wasting money. Not claiming JSA would be an example of this.

But I also like an easy life. If JSA was much more hassle, I wouldn't bother for example. If claiming these expenses causes me loads of hassle down the line I won't bother.

My price, for that service, would be a he'll of a lot more than £2K, ah sorry, in your case, £1K .
Point is, do you really need to squabble for these additional pennies, or are you being plain greedy?

MM. Why does every argument come down to you implying that "a couple of £K" is pennies to you?

Jeez. If this is true or not then I'm not bothered. But yeh Im well paid but £2K is not something I could afford to, for example, blow down the casino one night.

OK, well I've endured all this and it boils down to whether PC is prepared to take an, as yet unknown, risk for 1K.

Simple as that.

It doesn't, its just poor interpretation on your part.

If the question is am I prepared to risk a potential investigation, that can span years, for £2K than the answer is no.
Anyway, one things for sure Hector would have plenty to look at, should he come knocking at yours
You run things your way and I'll run things mine.

FFS PC If we all club together with our loose change and get you your 2k will you let this thread die!?

Ha ha. Go on then.

But seriously ignore it then. If it costs you money or someone is sitting at your pc forcing you to read this thread then please let me know.

[psychocandy]

But that's where your argument falls down, in my eyes.

You're saying "it's such a paltry amount, then why bother", whereas I'm saying "if this is a legitimate expense then I'd rather have £1000 in my pocket than not thank you very much". I don't care whether it's £1k, £10k, £30k - it's better off in my pocket rather than the government. Assuming it's a legitimate expense.

For me, my travel expenses are usually high - so having an answer is good. If that's an answer that I like, then great; if it's not then I need to reconsider where I work and what I charge. But either way, I like the fact that someone has taken professional advice and shared it.

There's no definite answer without court cases, but to say "it's only £1000 so why bother" seems a silly argument in my eyes.

Ah yes but then if certain posters admitted this they'd not be able to show off that they are so important and get paid so much that its loose change in their pocket.

And to admit there was something in this would be to lose face and possible membership of the CUK wolfpack....

SE - and what exactly are we talking about here? Please dont tell me its that old JSA crap again - Im losing the will to live on that one.
