"Scrapping Council Tax benefit" is very alarmist wording.
I realise Knowsley Council will have to adminster it and that a cut of 10% is being made, however.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.0 -
as oaps are gauranteed to get what they get now,as are the vunerable(although no one has defined what that means yet),people who live in areas with alot of retired people may suffer worse than other areas0

That would be anywhere on the coast as that is where most oap's end up.0
