housing benefit on my bank statement

I applied for housing benefit for the first time last month. When i called they said the first payment would be paid in on monday 22nd december. I had money paid in on the 17th of december under the description on my bank statement of "SCC debtors benefit" is this the housing benefit or something else? I am not aware of being due any other money :/

Hope someone can help!

    Is SCC the abbreviation for your local council?

    Were you previously in debt to the council?

    Housing benefit is paid by local council, SCC being your local authority I guess?

    E.g. Cornwall county council = CCC.

    Sheffield City Council - Southampton City Council - Salford City Council?
    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.
