So, you’ve been asked to an interview under caution: what now?
- Don't ignore it
- Understand what the problem is
- Get help and advice
It's really important to get an independent adviser or solicitor to help you with your case and represent you at the interview. This will give you the best chance of getting a good result. An adviser can check whether you are entitled to the benefits or whether the case against you is weak. A solicitor can advise you about your rights in the interview which could become part of a criminal investigation. However, you might not be able to get all this help, either because you can’t find an adviser who can help you, or because you can’t afford a solicitor. So this guide will help to answer some of your questions, work out what help you might be able to get and give you an idea of some things you can do to help yourself.
