Exactly Apollo why indeed
-
doesn't this need confirming in parliament like the last announcement of 'intention'. i presume it won't happen until the amended regulations are passed in parliament?
-
are you sure it applies to everyone and not just the 10,000 guinea pigs

Hi Apollo 141 .
Great to see you on this thread. My local council in Redditch
wrote me a letter saying I cannot claim Housing Benefit until i'm 66 .
I am 63 with incureable disabilities claiming legacy benefits including SDP
Shouldn't the council update their website on the 16/01 otherwise people like
me will think they cannot claim? -
@teejays1617 they will most likely update it on 16th.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
REDDITCH BOROUGH COUNCIL doesn't update it's website for HOUSING BENEFIT ,SO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF RECEIVING ESA WITH SDP are still told they cannot claim Housing Benefit?
Why does the Deception still go on ? -
All you have to do is show them the legislation. As today is only day one of the changes i'm really not surprised that they haven't yet updated their website.

Just checked my local council website and i'm very surprised to say that it has been fully updated with the new legislation.

I would definitely show them the legislation if you're having any problems claiming housing benefit. They can't refuse you when you show them this. Also show them proof of your SDP claim and stay one step ahead, i would. I hope you get this sorted soon! If you don't then contact your local MP.

I telephoned the Housing Benefit at my local council and they said" they had only just received a memo stating that Esa claimants claiming SDP as well could start
a claim for Housing Benefit" but no mention of whether anyone in my position is allowed to backdate the claim.
Please give your views on this subject -
I haven’t asked for a back date as the legislation doesn’t allow for that
