    Hi again,

    Good news re the fast tracking by the council.

    One thing I noticed in your first post is that you have multiplied Child Benefit (family allowance) by 4 to get the monthly amount. In fact it's better than that as CB is paid 4 weekly ie every 28 days. You therefore get 13 payments a year not 12.

    HI All,

    Hope that every one is ok and that everything is running ok.

    What a week we have had.

    Our Landlord rang up on the first sunday that i was off and informed us that he was selling the house and we had to be out at the end of our contract on May 1st.

    Panic stations !!!!

    Luckly we have found a house on the net road so we will be moving there on the 1st of may.

    Panic Over!!!

    Got letter from the houing benifits sections and we are getting wait for it £2.99 a week .

    I know i miht sound ungrateful but Entitled to said based on the same figures £44 per week.

    But at least £2.99 will buy somethin each week.

    Thats all for now i will update more later

    You could ask the CAB to go through the figures and see where/why the discrepancy arrived.
