Okay after spending the best part of six months looking for work I have found a job and had my housing benefit readjusted. I am totally confused though!
Basically they have included Child benefit in the calculation which I thought was disregarded. I am working 16 hours per week and earning £135 per week. I have two young children. Every online calculator including their own tells me I am entitled to £30 per week more than the calculation I have been sent. They have said I am entitled 0 help with council tax yet have sent me a bill for only £23 for the whole year.
Is Child benefit now included in the calculation? When did this happen? I come under Thanet council and the LHA rate is £114.23 per week here.
Any advice please?
