Hi All,
I have very recently been made redundant and have made an application for JSA (contribution based), and Council Tax Benefit.
Because of the tax I've paid in the last several years, my JSA is not affected by my savings for six months, but I notice that the CTB form also asks about savings and believe anything over 6K affect eligibility. I'm due to get 9.4K in a few weeks - how will this affect my CTB claim? Do I need to declare this now? what happens when my savings drop to below 6K?
Many thanks
Mr O
