Breadline

I'm determined to make 2013 better than 2012 financially.

I've got a suspended eviction on my mortgage & can just about make the payments.

I also have a attachement on my earnings for council tax for 2012/2013, which is about to come to an end in about 3 months.

But all my employment earnings goes on both these two items.
The other bills are taken care of by tax credits etc.

I could just do with a little breathing space on the council tax, is there any council tax benefits i'm missing out on that might help ?

regards,
Stephen.

    Are you a single person or are you in a relationship? - that will determine if you can get a discount for a single adult.

    Also, you might be able to arrange to pay over 12 months next year which will reduce the monthly payments.

    Hi wilky, well done with getting that order suspended, have you had a look at somewhere like entitledto.co.uk to see what it says or another benefit calculator? Sometimes councils have them on their sites too.
