In need of advice on Housing Benefit rules
Comments

Just a thought but if they thought you were there for Housing Benefit, they may not have given her the Single Person Discount for Council Tax (if there is no one else there)
I would just ask them to apply the SPD from the date that you moved out in your letter as well. Not every benefiit offices is as integrated with the Ctax department as one would wish. If she is not on full Council Tax benefit, then she may be due a refund!I currently manage a Housing Benefit service and have been working in Housing / council tax benefit (as was) since 2001.

I have never even heard of that - but sounds like an excellent idea! I will definitely pursue that plan. Big thank you for that tip!
