    This is all a bit suss to me, if she has a vacant property somewhere, then she will be liable for the council tax on this property, wouldn't they be looking for her to pay this? if she's claiming HB/CTB for her current accommodation wouldn't they have tracked her down by now to get it settled?

    If nothing else, a census form should have been completed for it and it will soon be investigated for not having submitted a completed form...
