Client claimed ESA and was awarded Income Based. There is a long and complex story of an alleged recoverable overpayment but that is an aside in regard to this question. The DWP accepted that the 1st contribution condition was met during one of the relevant contribution years as was proved by the claimant presenting a P60 for that year. Unfortunately, the claimant was unable to provide a P60 for the other relevant year and consequently Contributory ESA was denied for failure to satisfy the 2nd condition. It now transpires that the Lower Earnings Limit was reached for the requisite amount in the other contribution year and, therefore, ESA(C) should have been awarded. The appeal is to be heard next week and of course the argument is that there is no recoverable overpayment as there are no capital limits for the ESA(C) that should have been awarded.
The question is, and I think I know the answer, should the DWP have sought the contribution history for the relevant year if the claimant was unable to provide the P60? I think that the DWP should have; but I am happy to be told otherwise if that be the case.
Thank you in advance.
Is 8.45 on a Friday too early for irony?]]>
Client was in support group so entitled to CESA indefinitely. Has now failed WCA completely, gone thru MR so lodging appeal. He was in support group for 18 months, so my question is, will he get assessment phase rate CESA whilst appealing or does the time spent in the support group count towards his 365 days max entitlement?]]>
All views greatly valued]]>
I have a client who had a climbing accident in 1986 and has been unable to walk ever since. He has been on Invalidity Benefit/IB until converted to ESA (WG) last year.
He has received a medical pension from 1990 and this equates to about £165 per week and has never been taken into account for IB or ESA. However, he has received his maximum 365 day ESA (WG) and now fails to qualify for an income related claim due to the pension.
I appealed the original decision to be placed in the work group and the decision was revised and he was placed in the support group.
It is my understanding the pension has always been disregarded due to my client being incapable of work since 12.04.1995 and due to him having transitional protection?
My question is, as a result of being placed in the support group, should the pension still be disregarded due to transitional protection?
Many thanks
Probably a relatively simple question, sorry! Just feeling unsure this morning!
I've got a client who's been entitled to CB-ESA for around 2 years, but her employer failed to provide her with SSP1 after stopping paying her, so she had no idea about ESA or claiming. She's still employed by them, so didn't think she'd be entitled to any benefits by way of getting dismissed or leaving work. I know there's no provision for backdating ESA more than 3 months, but I'm wondering about her trying to take any action against the employer - it's not my area so I'd refer on anyway, but I'm thinking the question that will come up is whether her employer actually have a responsibility to tell her about ESA? It's a large bank, with an HR department, but it's still a bit of a stretch. Any ideas?]]>
JCP adviser at local office refusing to reconsider action plan which referred clt to WP (request made in writing >1 mth ago) . Adviser states that there is no policy or procedure in place to allow this to happen.]]>
Client (new to me) was on ESA until 30/01/14, refused based on a decision that he was FFW after medical in December 2013.
After requesting an SOR, he made another claim for ESA, from 17/04/14, on 07/05/14. He advised the DWP that he had PTSD which had not been considered. As this was a long-standing illness he hadn't told them about previously he was treated as not having a new condition or a worsening and his claim was refused. He then put in an MR of THAT decision (which in my opinion was actually correct), and this was also refused. The refusal letter (received in August) stated that they could not revise this decision because "Following the WCA assessment medical it has been decided you are fit for work"
We claimed again from 01/10/14. Over 6 months had passed since he had had a medical and a FFW decision, but the DWP has now refused his ESA claim on the basis that he was found FFW on 17/04/14.
This is clearly pants, but before I lodge the MR can you give me some pointers, please? In my mind the decision of 07/05/14 was about the 6 month rule, not a fresh finding on his LCW. Could you point me in the direction of the appropriate regs and any case law that establishes that the last Capability for Work decision was the one in January?

Spike Lee in London to cheer on the Knicks
LONDON (AP) — Fresh from shooting his new film, Spike Lee walked onto the basketball court at the O2 Arena clad in Knicks gear and ready to cheer on his team.
The American director is a staple at Knicks games in New York, and the trip across the pond for a regular-season NBA matchup against the Detroit Pistons just wouldn't be the same without him.
Wearing a big orange hat, Knicks sweatshirt and blue pants, Lee summed it up nicely: "The orange and blue, baby."

Prada mixes romantic and urban for "raw elegance" in Milan
MILAN (Reuters) - Italian fashion house Prada ventured in a new post-industrial world for her introvert woman at Milan fashion week on Thursday.
The trend-setting designer, whose collections are closely-watched by fashion critics, mixed romantic and urban looks for a refined style she called "raw elegance".
"What preoccupies me is impossibility. Women cannot be romantic, you have to be politically correct. There are so many restrictions," Miuccia Prada said in the backstage of her show.
The designer created skirts with irregular hems of different lengths and fabrics, while tops were worn open on the shoulders. Other models wore chequered, romantic dresses with ample skirts.
Assisted by design studio AMO, Prada turned its show space into an industrial landscape where the audience took seat on an irregular wooden island at the centre. A romantic landscape was projected on the walls alongside shadows of industrial devices.
"We wanted to express what women think," Prada told reporters after the show.
The designer created handbags in tweed, giving a sporty touch to luxury items.
The Hong-Kong listed fashion house, which competes with LVMH's Louis Vuitton (LVMH.PA) and PPR's (PRTP.PA) Gucci, said on Tuesday preliminary revenues rose 29 percent to 3.3 billion euros for the 12 months ended in January.
The company declined to comment on Thursday on media reports that it may buy Milan's renowned coffee house Cova, located in Via Montenapoleone, in the heart of the fashion district.

Marky Mark's top 10 films will inspire you to not only get in shape, but also to never give up when the going gets tough.

One of his darkest roles, Wahlberg played the character of Max Payne, based on the video game of the same name that came out in 2001. Payne is determined to find justice for the murder of his wife and baby, and he descends into the dark corners of the city as he deals with some of its sketchiest people getting to the bottom of it. Wahlberg's Best Role Play Max Payne was not the best received action film, but it still boasts exciting action sequences, an interesting visual style and it has Wahlberg filling the role as one of the most iconic video game characters of all time.

Olympic Material
"And then," Harlan continues, "they put me in the four-by-eight, right
after I'd run the quarter!"
"The four-by-eight?" his father asks.
"Yeah. Four guys, we each run a half-mile. It's a relay."
"Whenever something starts 'four-by,' that means it's a relay."
They're sitting in the den; the television bathes them in a hypnotizing
luminescence. His father is eating what would be Harlan's equivalent of
breakfast. It's five p.m., but Dad works the night shift. He's only been
up an hour.
"So then what happened?"
"Well, I've really been running well lately," Harlan says.
"So they wanted me to anchor."
"Anchor?" His father takes a bite of a scrambled-egg sandwich. He looks
at Harlan briefly, then back at sitcoms.
"Yeah," Harlan says. "That means to go last. The best guy goes last."
"And they wanted you to go last?" With affected pride.
"Yeah. But you know, I was still tired from the other race."
"The quarter."
"Yeah, the quarter."
A breeze blows through the patio door. Beyond the chain-link fence that
marks their territory, cars hurtle. Station Road is a place where kids
drive fast. Harlan will start driving next year, and he imagines he'll
follow local custom.
His father eats quickly, ravenously. He's listening to Harlan; that is,
he wants to listen, but he keeps thinking about the time that Harlan
came up to bat with two outs and runners on first and third in the
bottom half of the last inning of the Little League championships. He
belted a double into the gap in right-center. Was that so long ago? The
team had lifted his son onto their shoulders. They'd paraded his boy
around the diamond. And he'd called Harlan "Mr. Clutch." "That's what
they'll call you from now on, Harlan! Mr. Clutch!" he'd screamed. He'd
felt like a father, like it meant something to be a father.
He swallows up the rest of his sandwich. Harlan goes on.
". . . I wouldn't let him pass me though. Bobby Miller, the best
half-miler in the state! And I held him off!"
"Wow. That's great, Son. That's terrific, Harlan. Maybe you'll be a
track star."
"Well, I don't know about that." He shrugs.
His father carries his plate and coffee cup into the kitchen. The water
runs. Harlan doesn't know why he lied, but he knows that he had to. He
knows it might not even be a lie. In his head it's very clear, it
happened just like he said, he ran anchor, he held off Bobby Miller, it
might have happened that way.
That night his father will unleash the story on a co-worker. "My son's a
track star, you know. Best relay runner in the state, the whole damn
And years later Harlan will dust it off, in a bar, for a woman who isn't
going home with him. "Sure, we've all got a few things that stick with
us. Like my sub-two half-mile. I was a real speed demon back then,
Olympic material.
Why's that so hard to believe?"

China Mobile Selects Huawei WDM For Full-Service Metropolitan Bearer Networks
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 23 June 2014 Release date- 20062014 - Shenzhen, China - Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced that it will work closely with the Sichuan Branch of China Mobile, Sichuan Mobile, to deploy WDM-based full-service metropolitan bearer networks in over 10 cities across Sichuan Province, including the capital, Chengdu.
Aiming to significantly improve the transmission capabilities of existing metropolitan area networks (MANs) in Sichuan, the project represents an important step towards fulfilling the 'Broadband China' strategy laid out by the national government.
In the face of rapidly growing FTTx, LTE, and leased line services, Sichuan Mobile estimates that the bandwidth demand from its metro aggregation sites will exceed 100G over the coming three years. Besides the bandwidth challenge, service provisioning is slow and network maintenance is complex on existing MANs which transmit a wide range of services (such as TDM, Ethernet, and SAN; with 2M-10G rates) and comprise a great variety of devices (PDH/SDH/MSTP/switches/routers).
To overcome these challenges, Sichuan Mobile decided to deploy full-service metropolitan bearer networks using Huawei's Packet Optical Transport System (POTS) solution. Based on a unified switching platform, the solution can more efficiently deliver high-bandwidth multi-service transmission. The case-shaped 400G WDM device adopted by the solution is ideal for MAN equipment rooms, which are typically crowded with equipment and have limited power supply resources. At only 5U high, it is much smaller and more energy efficient than a traditional rack-mounted device of the same capacity. The innovative device supports AC and DC power and can be flexibly deployed in various scenarios.
'The 'WDM/OTN to the edge' idea advocated by Huawei perfectly matches China Mobile's strategic plan to deploy full-service metropolitan bearer networks. They focus on future readiness, providing protection for bandwidth investment, and facilitating fixed mobile convergence,' said Jack Wang, President of Huawei's Transmission Network Product Line.
As a leader in next generation WDM networks, Huawei has built over 200 commercial 100G networks for operators worldwide, driving optical 100G to go mainstream over a short period of time. By building information networks as wide as the Pacific Ocean, Huawei delivers high-speed connectivity anywhere to enrich people's lives.

New Zealand will kick off the Wellington Sevens against Fiji in what shapes as a testy rematch of their controversial showdown in Las Vegas.
Coach Gordon Tietjens' side will not lack for motivation at their home tournament after losing the final and their IRB world series lead to South Africa at the end of an eventful three days in Sin City.
New Zealand's recent history of heartbreak in the United States continued with a 14-7 loss to South Africa yesterday, the fourth time the Kiwis have lost the final in Las Vegas.
South Africa were worthy champions and when Scott Curry scored early in the final it was just the second try they had conceded over the three-day tournament.
It proved to be the last.
Branco du Preez levelled the scores at 7-7 on the stroke of halftime and when Gillies Kaka overcooked a lineout after the break Werner Kok was over in the corner for the winner.
But the low-light for Tietjens' men came on day two when two players, George Tilsley and Sam Dickson, were cited and then suspended following a physical 12-7 pool win against the Fijians.
Dickson was subsequently banned for nine matches for reckless contact with Fiji player Emosi Tuitoga's eyes late in the second half, while Tilsely received a two-match ban for a tip tackle and missed New Zealand's 26-7 semifinal win over Canada.
Though there is no bad blood between the sides, matches between New Zealand and Fiji have been highly charged affairs of late.
The Pacific Islanders embarrassed the Kiwis 44-0 in Dubai, while New Zealand's win in Vegas dumped Fiji out of the cup draw before the knockout stages.
The rivalry will continue on Friday week in Wellington where New Zealand have been drawn in pool B along with Fiji, France and Spain.
Tietjens first priority will be picking his squad.
The injured trio of Tomasi Cama, Sherwin Stowers and Joe Webber face fitness tests, while teenager Akira Ioane comes back into contention.
Ioane, 18, could be Tietjens' trump card in the capital after missing the Vegas tournament due to complications with his visa and would be a neat replacement for Dickson's physicality and skill.
The squad for Wellington will not include Dickson with Tietjens confirming there would not be an appeal despite the belief his actions did not justify a citing, let alone a lengthy suspension.
"I've reviewed the footage and had a look at it. I feel for the guy [Dickson]. He's never been the aggressor at any stage as a rugby player. He couldn't even recall the incident that's how low-end it was quite honestly."
Television footage suggests the Cantabrian unintentionally raked his hand across Tuitoga's eyes as the pair wrestled on the ground.
"From what I saw he was on the ground trying to look after himself. The penalty's been given and we just have to punch on really," Tietjens said.
An appeal was considered, but would be futile.
"Quite clearly they state within the IRB that anything around the face if you are involved in an incident you can receive a suspension of 12 weeks onwards.
"I suppose when you look at the footage in slow motion his hand is around the face trying to free himself. I know there was never any intent from Sam Dickson because I know the boy that well.
"If they did reduce the sentence, they only get reduced a couple of matches and we'd only have him for a couple of matches in Wellington."
Tietjens had no problem with the two-match suspension handed to Tilsley in the same match, but the entire squad were shocked by Dickson's punishment.
"Sam's is the one we thought wouldn't go anywhere near the suspension he got. We didn't think he'd be suspended to be fair."

Astros players upset over Mark Appel's promotion to Double-A, bullpen session in Houston
Jul 27, 2014, 1:25 PM EDT
Mark Appel, the first overall pick in the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft, was promoted to Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday despite posting a 9.74 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 44 1/3 innings at High-A Lancaster. And he was invited to Minute Maid Park in Houston on Sunday morning to throw a bullpen session in front of Astros coaches and executives. This stuff is not sitting well with some of the players on the Astros' current major league roster. Here's reporter Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle …
Mark Appel was brought into the clubhouse early, leaving long before most of the players arrived. A few saw him, though.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) July 27, 2014
"It's (expletive) unbelievable," an Astros player just said out of the blue about Mark Appel being allowed throw a bullpen.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) July 27, 2014
Let's just put it this way, folks, the fact that Appel was brought here has upset more than a few players.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) July 27, 2014
In a sport that prides itself on having guys pay dues, the Astros didn't help perception in clubhouse that Appel is being babied.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) July 27, 2014
Another player just approached me to complain about Appel's promotion and bullpen session. Multiple expletives were dropped. Not good.
— Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) July 27, 2014
It's pretty common for top prospects to be moved aggressively through the minors and to have workouts in front of members of the major league coaching staff, so this anger seems odd. Perhaps it's the culmination of a growing divide between the Houston front office and some of the Astros' players — the shady handling of George Springer's callup and the bungling of the Brady Aiken negotiations only adding fuel to the fire.
"I will handle those conversations internally," Astros manager Bo Porter told Ortiz on Sunday afternoon. "Any time something affects your clubhouse, I think as the manager you have to handle it."

Let's see lowbrow Porter try & wiggle his way out of this one. Every day it's something new w/ this guy.
- Old Gator - Jul 27, 2014 at 10:36 PM
How was this any of his fault?
- stex52 - Jul 28, 2014 at 9:04 PM
C'mon, OG. You know Nottingham by now. Porter is black. It has to be his fault.

The thing that is a little over looked by those current Astros that are upset by the promotion is that its not uncommon to have pitchers skip the Cal League all together (Folty skipped it!). Hader does deserve a AA promotion. Appel is getting one for two reasons and lowly old fan that I am – I saw this coming. First he finally had an "expected quality start" and second, I think everyone in the Astros brass is pretty sure they should have sent him to Corpus instead of Lancaster to begin with. The chance to put two 1-1 picks on the same team is why he went there (marketing) most likely. I expect him to do very well is the Texas League, same with Hader when he gets his chance.
The fact that a team that scored 4 runs in 3 games against MIA had people upset about this bothers me a whole lot though – seems they may not be paying attention to what they should be!

Seems like the beat writer is trying to stir up something.
- jsala02 - Jul 28, 2014 at 12:06 PM
Lancaster is a joke for a ball park. They needed to get him out of there. Although I agree that Hader should be promoted, I can see Appel returning to form in Corpus.
- Jonestein - Jul 28, 2014 at 2:50 PM
Buh, buh, but – NOLAN RYAN is with the Astros now, how could anything possibly be going wrong with the organization? Don't you people know that once The Legend(tm) joins a team's front office everything magically starts working and there's clubhouse harmony & sh *t just because of His presence?

Texas voters will decide on water election Tuesday
Send this to a friend
- Nicholas Sakelaris

- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Texas voters will decide on nine constitutional amendments Tuesday, including a billion-dollar plan to fund the state's water projects for the next 50 years.
Arguably the biggest item on the Nov. 5 ballot, Proposition 6 would create the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT).
The initial $2 billion drawn from the state's Rainy Day Fund would become part of a revolving fund making low-interest loans for water infrastructure, conservation and reservoir projects.
The Texas Water Development Board, which Gov. Rick Perry revamped earlier this year, would oversee the allocation of SWIFT dollars.
Lawmakers proposed using the Rainy Day Fund because it's flush with cash from severance taxes paid by the booming oil and gas industry.
Supporters include some of the state's biggest water users, such as Dallas-based Texas Instruments Inc., which contributed $10,000 in support of Proposition 6.
Critics say it's "unregulated money."
The Rainy Day Fund could grow to nearly $12 billion by August 2015.
Voters will return to the polls in November 2014 to vote on another constitutional amendment that would tap the Rainy Day Fund again for road and highway construction and maintenance.
Last week, the DBJ asked its readers in its Business Pulse Survey how they would vote on the issue, and 74 percent of more than 360 respondents said they would vote for the proposition.

Icebreaker looks to Portland for global retail strategy
Send this to a friend

- Staff Reporter- Portland Business Journal

Apparel company Icebreaker has hired its first global vice president of retail. And she won't work out of the company's New Zealand headquarters.
Instead, Cathy Quain will work from Icebreaker's U.S. headquarters in the Pearl District.
The news is another sign of the strength of Portland's footwear and apparel industry.
The city is a hotbed of design talent because of its proximity to Nike, Columbia Sportswear Co. and the North American headquarters of Adidas. Several companies located in other states maintain Portland design offices, including Merrell and Amer Sports.
The footwear company Under Armour this month announced plans for a 20-employee design center in Portland.
Quain will oversee the development of Icebreaker's global retail strategy with a focus on North America and the company's retail stores.
"As we approach our 18th anniversary, we are committed to an aggressive global growth strategy on all fronts," founder and CEO Jeremy Moon said in a news release. "Cathy is the perfect person to help us take our mission of spreading the goodness of Merino to the world to the next level."
Quain has more than 20 years of experience in the retail industry. She has worked for Trina Turk, Burton Snowboards and Giorgio Armani.
"I am thrilled to be joining Icebreaker and to have the opportunity to build a world-class retail organization," she said in a news release. "Icebeaker's mission, product and customers all inspire me, and I see enormous potential for the growth of the business in all channels."
The company is already expanding its network of retail stores, which it calls TouchLabs. It recently announced plans for a Chicago store.
Matthew Kish covers footwear, apparel, banking, finance and general assignment news.

With this guide, you can choose how to take your tour. The map on the back of this page contains a driving tour (indicated by green directional arrows) which will allow you to view many sites (indicated by small green numbers) from your car. Sites not visible from the road are indicated by black letters and are easily walked to after you park your car along the side of the road. If you're ambitious, walking is a great way to enjoy the entire tour or to take in parts of it during several visits.
With some exceptions, grave locations are typically designated in this guide by section, block and lot. On the map, section numbers (in green squares) are placed approximately in the middle of each section. Tall, numbered signs throughout the grounds identify each section. In addition to the complete tour, this guide includes nine shorter tours such as Milwaukee's mayors and Wisconsin's governors. Each grave location is shown on the map in suggested tour sequence.
From the Halls of History, proceed southwest into the cemetery and start at Section 16. If you're driving, always park to the side of the road.
If you don't have time to make the complete tour during your initial visit, you're certainly welcome to return as many times as you wish. For your convenience, nine short tours follow. They serve as a guide to grave sites that may particularly interest you. The following lists do not include everyone buried at Forest Home Cemetery in each category. Candidates were selected for these lists based on the available biographies. Any suggestions for the next edition of this tour guide would be appreciated. If you have any questions or need assistance finding a grave site, don't hesitate to ask any member of the Forest Home Cemetery staff. The nine specialty tours are:

Startup Spotlight: Stand In helps mobile designers without coding skills create complex motions, interactions

Redbox revenues tumble 11 percent, company blames 'weak release' schedule from Hollywood
Bad movies. That's in essence what caused weak revenues at Redbox during the third quarter, with the movie rental service's parent company Outerwall disclosing financial results today. Redbox, the biggest part of Bellevue-based Outerwall, said its revenues declined 11 percent during the third quarter due to "a weak release schedule in the second quarter of 2014 and the unfavorable timing and mix of content released in the third quarter of 2014." Redbox posted revenue of $438 million, down from $491.7 million for the same period last year. Overall, Outerwall ? which also operates Coinstar and ecoATM kiosks ? posted revenue … Read More on GeekWire

Which cereals are the best at lowering cholesterol and regularity?
4:30 pm
October 3, 2013
Which cereals are the best for lowering LDL Cholesterol and also for regularity. I find that when I have Cheerios (soluble fiber) my LDL is not too bad but when I switch to Kellogg's Raisin Brand Crunch (insoluble fiber) I have better luck with regularity and better bowel movements than with the Cheerios. Is there a happy medium? Would you combine both? Is that a problem? I also take two Citrucel pills a day (soluble fiber?)
The problem is when I switched to Raisin Bran my LDL shot up.
Thank you,
