    That sounds a lot ... I think people on benefits in my town have to pay 10% now, but it's nowhere near as high as yours!

    Is it split over 10 payments? If so could you ask them to split it over 12 instead? It said on the back of my bill that I could call them and ask for 12 payments.

    Mysterywoman10 posted this spreadsheet on a thread recently. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkvoW4n_rBwYdFJMTzZ0N05yMjFPWm9qOFlqWlhyREE#gid=0 I haven't checked all of the counties in the list, but I didn't spot anything as high as £10 per week in the average loss for non-working claimants. Do you have to pay all of this yourself, or is it for a large property that you share? I'm just wondering if perhaps they've made a mistake with your bill. Fingers crossed :)
