Local Housing Allowance Housing Benefits and Universal Credit Functions: Amount for 2017/2018 and Statutory Instrument 2016 no 1169

Ismail Abdulhai Bhamjee

Dear Barking and Dagenham Borough Council,

I, Ismail Abdulhai Bhamjee and on behalf of my Wife Sahera Ismail Bhamjee do hereby make a request that:-

1. You should confirm of the New Rates for the year 2017/2018 Local Housing Allowance for three Bedroom House and Four Bedroom House.

2. You should provide us with a copy of the up to date The Rent Officers (Housing Benefit Functions) Order 1997 Number 1984. I have checked on the HMSO Legislation where they don't publish the upto date but as original issued which does cause some confusion. I want this to be sent by Post as my printer is at fault and doesn't print. I am trying to have this fixed.

3. We believe that we have been treated unfairly since there is no Face to Face Meeting with the Revenue and Benefits Officer as documents have to be lodged at the Library which are scanned and than forwarded to the responsible officer.

4. Please provide us with the name of the Solicitors and Barristers for the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council, and their Telephone Number and Fax Number that communications can be sent to them when issuing a Judicial Review Claim Form, as you are aware of Section 7, 9, and 11 (a) (b) of the Human Rights Act 1998.

Yours faithfully,

Ismail Abdulhai Bhamjee

London Borough of Barking and Dagenham,

Dear Barking and Dagenham Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Barking and Dagenham Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Local Housing Allowance Housing Benefits and Universal Credit Functions: Amount for 2017/2018 and Statutory Instrument 2016 no 1169'.

I request your attention that there are Statutory Instruments which have been issued that members of the Public are allowed to inspect and obtain copies at the Council Offices under many Statutory Instruments issued by any Minister of the Crown.

The Data Protection Act 1998 does also apply, Since the Refusal to provide me with the Housing Benefit between April 2017 until the First Week of July 2017, and the Housing Benefit which had been granted from the 10th July 2017 which is incorrect amount.

You are aware of the Judgment given in the Court of Appeal on Monday 28th June 1999 which was an appeal from the High Court of Justice Queens Bench Division (Commercial Court) which has been reported as:

http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/...

Before the than Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales (Now Deceased Lord Bingham of Cornhill), Lord Justice Otton and Lord Justice Robert Walker
Between (1) Reichhold Norway ASA (2) Reichold Chemicals Inc Claimants/Appellants
and
Goldman Sachs International Defendant/Respondent
Whilst there is a House of Lords decision on the 20th July 2000 in Arthur J S Hall Versus Simmon and Others where it was Ordered that Advocates have no Immunity Whether Civil or Criminal Proceedings.

If you could place them before the First Tier Tribunal under reference Number SC312/17/01891

Since there is a duty to Disclose when there are legal Proceedings, and refusal to provide the requested information does amount to Obstruction of Justice and Contempt of Court.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/l...

Yours faithfully,

Ismail Abdulhai Bhamjee
