Thread: council tax benefit costs??

council tax bill generated for single person on IS. while waiting for council to receive (approx 1 month) info from DWP re the IS, the council issued a summons to court for one payment for one month.

once informed that IS was in place they agreed to withdraw the summons and then passed a charge of £77.00 on to the claimant! also refused to repay the full months payment the claimant borrowed and paid on receiving the summons. council also refuses to refund the sum paid as a small sum of less than ten pounds is payable monthly due to adult son still at home.

also - providing evidence of someone else in households income?? is this possible when not the claimant and nothig to do with the claim.

hi thanks for this - I see, however, the charge has now been returned as an error, also, when the months full council tax payment has been received, it does seen odd to send out a summons, - also withdrawn now as an error.
