all sounds way too complex lol

i don't get involved in that stuff - i would suggest maybe asking if it's possible to have a callback from a complex assessment officer at your local office so they can talk to you about your situation. with the properties all over the place, it's going to be a bit too messy for the average consultant, and the last thing you need is another screw up/delay or an overpayment because of the messiness of the situation
