I have been a member of the forum only for a while and notice there are very few contributions in view of self employed applicants. There is some information on independent contractors though..
I have recently applied for HSMP but refused on earnings evidence. I applied for a review and got to hear the original decision has been upheld.
I had a chat with the CW about my refusal, the main reason not being able to verify my tax certificate as I did not provide my user name and password to log on to the tax authority site.. I submitted this information in my review but it was not accepted and considered ''additional'' information/evidence. I however have a different view to this as it is ''evidence'' supplied in ''support'' of the initial application according to the HSMP review guidance.. My user name and password could not be used to make a decision but be used to ''aid'' a decision... Well thats up to interpretation I guess..
One thing I have come to notice is that CWs use previous cases they have dealt with as benchmarks for future decisions, which is not bad, but could stifle initiative.. Posts of form 16 and the Indian Saral for instance showed lots of refusals when this was changed.. and in my case because previous applicant had provided log in details with tax card, the CWs have taken this as the benchmark..
I was thinking of putting in a complaint but was told this takes a while as the HO office in Sheffield dealing with complaints was affected by the flood a few months ago hence response times are not certain, so I have to fork out another 400 quid!..
Learnt my lesson and will spell it out clear in my next application, I will leave no room for intiative of the CW!
