    my housing benefit goes in 4 weekly like everyone else
    my rent is per calender mth
    so i just set up a standing order for same date every mth
    i have a shortfall of 75 a mth to pay too so i find it easier to keep an eye on the bank a week or so before to check i have enough in to cover rent

    most, THATS MOST, councils can now make payments monthly. its a pain in the !!!! for our system at work not sure about other LAs which is probably why they dont advertise the fact that it can be paid monthly.

    ask thm.
    There's someone in my head, but it's not me
