Monkey Business in Midlothian
A number of readers from Midlothian have been in touch – to say they have received ‘new’ settlement offers from the council.
But the catch is that these offers are not new offers at all.
They are just the same old ‘recycled’ offers that the council has made previously – and which people have rejected out of hand.
Midlothian Council is just up to its old tricks – hoping to wear people down.
Trying to confuse claimants by recycling old discredited offers – in the hope people will give up their claims for much less that they are really worth.
So, our advice is simple.
If you receive such an ‘offer’ from the council – take what it has to say with a big pinch of salt.
Employers’ have been known to try to confuse and demoralise claimants before.
Send a copy of the council’s letter to Stefan Cross Solicitors in Newcastle.
Don’t sign or agree to anything – sit tight and wait for proper advice.
