Lost eligibility with 2 different Claim Forms where it has rested on being able to tick receipt of Council Tax Benefit in order to qualify. Although, I do receive Council Tax Benefit, I find I invariably get turned down, because of the interpretation of a seemingly ambiguous clause that goes with it, ie 'does not include single occupancy Council Tax discount'. Those spoken to on helplines over the years have not been sure themselves, and trying correspondence has been long, drawn out & fruitless. To my mind, it has always meant that, if after taking into account any Council Tax discounted as a result of single occupancy, there is still Council Tax Benefit received, a single occupant should remain eligible. However, the decision-makers take the line that, just by receiving single occupancy Council Tax discount, there is automatic disqualification, which would suggest that single people could never be eligible. Therefore, seeking clarification in law, if possible, so it is known precisely how the matter should stand. With many thanks, as I cannot find anything official in writing to help.
