Mothers Benefit affected?

Richardsct

Currently on JSA but may lose this if I get sanctioned (long story) my mother is a widow, receives contribution based state pension topped up with a small amount of pension credit (about £20) she also gets full council tax benefit (she pays none) will me losing my benefit have any impact on what she gets - I know the state pension she gets because it is based on contributions cannot be affected but what about the pension credit/council tax benefit?

any info appreciated

You need to apply for hardship and your mother needs to advise Ct of your revised income and claim a discount on the basis of your low income. Doubt that will affect her liability.

am a correct to say that she probably will still not have to pay council tax?

will her entitlement to pension credit be affected do you think?
