National Health Service: For the first time in 7 years NHS England queries Declan's claim for full help with health costs
Our Church and State website has no less than 59 Nobel Laureates on it despite the never-ending assault on our email; see paragraph 2 under "Church and State" on this blog's sidebar (updated today).
The above is a National Health Service HC2 certificate (full help with health costs) issued to us by NHS England in October 2014 that was invalidated by use of the surname Heaven instead of Heavey.

Dear Claims Assessor,
Thank you for your email about your 6th renewal of my and my wife's NHS HC2 Certificate for full help with health costs.
Do you receive any dividends from the company?
I have been part-time employed as the managing director of Network for Church Monitoring Limited since 17 February 2014. The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. There are no shareholders in the company and thus no dividends. I am paid £140 every two weeks for 8 hours of work per week. My wife's income is the same as the company's webmaster. This is the most we have been paid since the commencement of our employment with the company six years ago. We have no other income.
I hope that the above satisfactorily answers your question. As stated in my claim form, I live with my wife in a Mayor of London Rough Sleepers Initiative designated property and we are supported by Housing Benefit from Newham Council. I enclosed with the claim form, inter alia, Housing Benefit Confirmation of Entitlement dated 24 June 2020.
Our previous certificate expired on 17 September 2020 and we are both concerned that we currently have no help with health costs in this COVID-19 lockdown. I am an asthmatic who is 60 with a long history of serious respiratory illness, thus placing me in the high-risk group for COVID-19 and other viral respiratory infections. This of course also poses a threat to others should I become seriously unwell for want of full help with health costs.
Please let me know if you have more questions about my 7th claim for full help with health costs.
Yours sincerely,
Declan Heavey
Managing Director
Network for Church Monitoring
Are we back to problems with NHS England?
Paragraph 38 of Declan's updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
38. The Applicant and his wife have never been able to get the basic and reliable support they need from St. Mungo's TST. Newham Council has twice suspended the Applicant's Housing Benefit following erroneous notifications from the Department for Work and Pensions that he and his wife had vacated. The Applicant has even had difficulties securing their address from misconduct by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs staff, and despite several high-level complaints related in part to an unauthorised update to their address. It has been acknowledged by the GLA in court papers that the Applicant and his wife can live independently – they do not have addictions or mental illness or behavioural issues. Their needs are solely related to the harassment, discrimination, intimidation and victimisation they routinely face. They are extremely concerned that next year they will be forced to challenge a destabilising periodic tenancy, as opposed to fixed term, in a court action against St. Mungo's for dereliction of duty and violation of their human rights. This notwithstanding that it has become abundantly clear that they have been and continue to be deprived of satisfactory tenancy sustainment support. As the matter stands, therefore, there is a threat to life and wellbeing in this case considering the following range of factors as applicable:
(i) The Applicant has a history of respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, bronchitis and other lung infections. Both he and his wife doubt he has the respiratory health to survive even another year or two on the streets. The Applicant is in his late fifties (58), and during their first period of homelessness, he was hospitalised with pneumonia in December 2006 and with a viral infection in October 2007. Near the end of their second period of homelessness, in April 2014, he was diagnosed with asthma as well as a chest infection (see para. 31 above).
(ii) Back on the streets the Applicant and his wife will be restricted to sleeping on night buses in all sorts of weather (money permitting), notwithstanding the Applicant's asthma and now increased susceptibility to respiratory disease. They were forced into this predicament prior to coming off the streets the second time because of an excessive use of force by police officers to move them out of where they were sleeping. This included the Applicant's wife being threatened with arrest on the trumped-up charge of assaulting a police officer (see paras. 31-32 above). Since the subsequent escalation of the migration crisis in Europe, the police have been given more powers to crack down on rough sleeping and need less to resort to unlawful measures.
(iii) Both the Applicant and his wife have serious concerns about the health care the Applicant has or has not received over the years from National Health Service (NHS) England. Prior to his hospitalisation with pneumonia in 2006, he lost consciousness while vomiting and could have easily died had his wife not been with him. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital discharged him 42 hours after admission whilst still unwell (into the shivering cold and dense fog), placing him at risk. The Applicant most recently complained to NHS England about emergency dental treatment he received in January 2018. He complained that he had a nerve removed from a tooth but was only prescribed antibiotics after the tooth had erupted within days of the treatment, the tooth itself being extracted a month to the day after the nerve had been removed. NHS England did not uphold any aspect of the Applicant's complaint.
12 July 2019: Threat to life: Updated complaint to the United Nations under Article 19 (freedom of expression) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's highlighted
From My Pick's:
30 June: District Judge Ruth Fine orders Declan to pay £1,850 in costs. St Mungo's are under no obligation to even vouch over the phone that we are clients of the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's TST programme (WITH UPDATE 24/09/20)
The Central London County Court is based at the Royal Courts of Justice.
What the issue in these court proceedings boiled down to was whether the Court would decide that Declan and I should live in a destabilised tenancy that inhibits our ability to exercise our rights and poses a threat to his life, simply because the Mayor of London-commissioned St Mungo's Tenancy Sustainment Team in North London (TST North) would not even take a phone call to confirm that we are clients of theirs. Declan argued that this was not proportionate and lawful. But District Judge Ruth Fine agreed with counsel for St Mungo's that TST North was not obliged to take such a phone call and ordered him to pay £1,850 in costs. Declan had asked the Judge to take into consideration that St Mungo's had clocked up exorbitant legal fees without mentioning this phone call in their application for strike out. Less than a week later, St Mungo's TST North had agreed to take the phone call for us both. But still our landlord, Peabody Trust housing association, will not renew our tenancy like for like as twice before (Housing Ombudsman ref: 202002510).
