Wednesday 13.11.2019 Spent the morning on accepting UC ATLAS items for income changes or terminates.  PM - Apprenticeship study time Thursday 14.11.2019 Went through my normal ATLAS list. This included a lot of pension updates or death notifications.  Also managed to look through the matched work in my tray and calculated some of these.  Friday 15.11.2019 Completed two VEP tasks. These were for updated income. The income had not had a significant change so amended from paid to point and recalculated. Went through my expired pending. Overall this week hasn't had anything out of the ordinary, no cases have stood out to me.

Wednesday 30.10.2019 Short notice annual leave taken due to a poorly child who could not go to nursery and needed to see a doctor. Thursday 31.10.2019 Spent Thursday catching up on UC ATLAS and normal ATLAS work. This included updating incomes and recalculating CTR as well as address updates and cancelling claims due to the death of a claimant.  On the claims which I completed for death updates, I had to also inform council tax that the customer had passed away so they could end the accounts.  Friday 01.11.2019 Worked the morning only due to childcare issues as still poorly.  Spoke to colleague and advised on a Person From Abroad claim he had a query with and as I run the PFA specialist group, I am often asked questions.
