I went BR on the 29th Jan and had my OR interview last Fri, I feel I should be feeling much better especially reading some of the posts where people are saying they feel relieved. Why then cant I? I am over retirement age and have a part time job which I desperately want to give up and do other things, (I did a course in holistic therapies a couple of years ago and would like to give that a go) I know that I shall probably be told, hang on to the job, but it is holding me back and, after all, life is short and I would need the car anyway if I am to do what I want to do. As well as the IPA I presume any tax that I pay is paid to Moonbeevers, so if I give up the job, the OR will know as I won't be paying tax, at least for a while. Sorry if this sounds confusing.
I was given an IPA of £70.00 a month which I am challenging, the OR said that my car would be exempt, it is worth around £1400, but he did say that I could lose it if I give up my job, so I feel that although the BR is behind me I am still not able to move on with my plans.
He was a very brusque OR, which I expected anyway, he even knew my mum's maiden name, how did he know that? I feel as if I am being watched, a bit like big brother and can't make the moves that I was hoping.
Also, can they still call you back after they have interviewed you? So far I have only had a letter regarding a life asurance policy and the IPA.

yes i was the same as you didnt think they would be interested and i cannot get kids to school without it because of their ages they go to four different schools so was really stressed when they wanted it but thankfully my mum helped out and paid the money for it |

I didn't think they were interested in a car under £2000 but I must have got that wrong. |

Thanks Hanlou
I am just worried about losing my car. It is sentimental value, my partner left it to me when he died. I know that doesn't cut any ice with the OR and their not interested in sentimentality. I just find it hard to beleive that they would want to take a car that is of so little value. |
