Benefit integrity form, Question..?

Hi, just received the above, sorry if this is a daft question, but they're asking what benefits i receive from a list of benefits printed on the form. I've told them i'm getting IB and DLA..So far so good.

Then it says at the bottom of the list 'Any other social security benefits' ....Should i include the housing and Council Tax benefit i receive? Are they 'Social security benefits'?

Thanks.

    Hi, the form is a 'BF85A' I'm pretty sure i don't recieve income support, I've been on IB since 1998.

    I've sent the form off now without including the Housing benefit & Council tax benefits:eek: I knew I should have waited for the replies, oh dear:( Funny whenever i'm asked what benefits I'm on, I always forget those two. Guess i'm for the high jump then.:(
