They should not be taking it from Housing Benefit payments. They should only do this is if it has gone to court for an Attachment of Earnings irrespective of whether you are on benefits or working. Go to CAB if they are taking it from HB.Never judge a book by it's cover!
I may look well but I am very poorly, I am fed up with being judged because I cannot work. Grrr!!
I am not looking at them, they just aint real!

Deductions for Council Tax arrears can only be made from Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance or Pension Credit. To get the DWP to make the deductions the local authority needs to get a liability order from the court. For further advice take any letters you have regarding the deductions to a local benefit adviser.“Verified Representative
