    No, dmg just said that I "wasnt entitled to housing benefit", it is appreciated if someone explains things to you the way jezzebell did.

    I broke down the whole calculation for you - was that not simple enough for you?
    Gone ... or have I?

    Ok, here we go..... I have been on here before asking about my entitlement to housing benefit and I have one question. With my salary I am told by people that I am not entitled to it yet when I go onto renfrewshire councils housing benefit calculator it tells me I'm entitled to £75 a week.... is the calculator really meant for people that dont work???

    So I put:
    You are entering your figures incorrectly newbie.

    As you earn approx £17000 a year, your gross weekly pay is £326, and after tax and NI your net pay is approx £258.

    If you enter these figures into the calculator above, your entitlement shows as £0.

    Then I even went to the effort of entering all the figures for you, and pasting it all on to here.

    Tell me where that was not helpful?

    On previous posts, several people have also told you relevant and helpful information.

    Do you have a problem with being polite to people just because you do not want to hear what they are saying?

    You can't please all of the people, all of the time ;)

    Sometimes it makes you wonder why you bother even trying to help though :rolleyes:
    “You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”

    dmg, now you know how the benefit assessors must feel! newbie, you were quite rude and I think you misunderstood the help that dmg was trying to give you. She was trying to stop you wasting your time further, not having a dig.


    As I said, the only person that fully explained it was jezzebell!!!
