| council tax benefit - evidence My very first post...so hello to anyone reading this....
I have recently made a claim for Council Tax benefit & was asked to provide evidence of Capital & Savings (i.e bank statements). I did this, but blanked out transactions & account details as I consider this unnecessary info and also backed up by advice from a CAB counsellor. What they could see was 'Money In' & 'Money Out'. The council have not accepted my application because of this. They state "...they must show your account number, transactions and final balance". I dont have thousands in the bank & I am certainly not trying to defraud anyone but I dont see their need to know what I spend my money on. Finally, even although they are supposed to treat info as confidential, I would have thought they definitely could not demand to see my bank account number & sort code etc... This is confidential - to me!!! What is the purpose of that?
Any positive feedback or helpful comments/info appreciated  |

| | Platinum Account Customer | Re: council tax benefit - evidence I don't know if this is the requested 'positive' comment, but I have just been through this myself, my main problem being that I bank on line and you cannot print off statements which include your name and account number.
I was equally outraged by the intrusion into my privacy but if you want and need the benefit you will need to compromise. I obtained hardcopy statements from my bank and handed them over.
I also made many references to involving a local councillor when they still seemed to be dragging their feet processing the claim. This seemed to bring about a prompt result
The purpose of it is to prevent fraud. |

| Re: council tax benefit - evidence I suggest that if you do indeed pass over these statements with such delicate info' on them, question how they dispose of them later. If you dont receive them back, then they should be "security shredded" but mistakes do happen so be very careful. |
