The first sensible thing you've said ! Now, tell me, are you able to appeal to a Tribunal or have you exhausted this process ? If so, your only way forward would appear to be an appeal to the Court of Appeal on a point of law. I hope the staff are kind to you. Have a wonderful Christmas, God bless you !
