Hi,
Wondering if any body could help me. I have been advised that we may be able to claim help towards our rent and maybe council tax (after five years of renting a council property). My question is this my partner rec'd a bonus this year in marchs salary and has done for quite some time, this is not a guarnteed bonus but up to now has rec'd it every year.
So 1. do i declare this when first filling the application in or wait till it is paid that month.
2. is housing benefit and council tax benefit calculated on gross or net income.
thanks cherie
also, I have three children from my previous partnership - I do not get and maintenance payments from the childrens father as he has passed away will I need to prove this ??
