Ok I dont have a clue what you mean here, the housing benefits do not pay the money directly to the person (us) they pay it through the system to the council, I am not sure quite how it all works but all I know is they pay the housing benefits that way, we didnt know they had paid it, we have been paying full rates, we just received a letter stating an over payment of housing benefits, and quite frankly I came here for advice not critisism, I assume that some people dont have a clue how housing bens work, people seem to assume that they give the money to the person, meaning us. They dont its all done on their system somehow.[/QUOTE
The COUNCIL pay housing benefit. It has NOTHING to do with DWP.

At no point did you say you were in council house either.
Maybe if you could;ve been bothered to tell the story correctly from the start, you wouldn't have had to have the criticism, and then have to 'chav-off' to other people.
