Incapacity Benefit/Council Tax & Housing Benefit Help needed
I do not know if anybody out there can help or advise but as my family and I are currently being evicted through no fault of ours we desperately need advice the facts are as follows.
I was disabled out from gainful employment from the year 2000,we were forced to sell our home and rent it back from the purchaser,in the year 2005 due to rule changes in the benefit system we could no longer claim the Income support Benefit,from 2005 I have disputed the amount of Council tax and rent we were told we had to pay,the basis of our arguement is that the figures being used by our Council are INCORRECT !
We are in possesion of countless Council tax payment books and Benefit decision notices ALL with different amounts stated,some things that should be stated are I pay TAX on my Incapacity Benefit,the council make a further reduction in our housing benefit two deductions from a single benefit not legal as far as I can ascertain,our council calculate our housing benefit on the GROSS figure of benefits we are in reciept of.
Because I pay TAX we CANNOT gain assistance from the Legal Aid system,can anyone offer advise please?

Hi DTAB...you really need to start your own thread and then you will get much better advice...have flagged your post for a mod to move.
Best wishes...WM
If you feel I've helped then by all means click my star to the left...a simple "thank you" costs nothing!
I offer help and advice in good faith, based on my knowledge and experience. I am NOT a legal or financial expert. There are many CAG members and site team who are better qualified. Please do not make major decisions based on my advice alone.I do not give advice via P.M's. If anyone can correct my mistakes or improve on my advice, please do.
