    I started my new job after being unemployed and on benefits on 22/12/2007.

    If you were in receipt of council tax benefit then its not the council tax section you need to speak to first its the council tax benefit section.

    The council tax section have no control over the amount of council tax benefit paid, its solely in the hands of the council tax benefit section.
    Regardless if i was in the property or not
    Benefit is not always paid for both properties in cases were a person has two properties.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
