Conclusions
What decision should I make?
It follows from what I have said that the FTT erred in law, in relation to both the period 2007-2018, and the period from 12 November 2018 onwards. I therefore set its decision aside.
Given my conclusions above, there is no issue that is suitable for remittal, and I will exercise my power to “re-make” the decision under section 12(2)(b)(ii) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. The decision that I make is that SE was entitled to CA from 12 November 2018.
I do not think that I need to substitute a decision in relation to the earlier period. My re-made decision stands in place of the decision dated any earlier decision which the Secretary of State made in on 4 April 2019, with effect that SE’s previous entitlement to CA from 2007 to 2018 remains in place.
