  • If not in a UC area claim HB and CTR now without delay from your local council. Claim with current income and if financial circumstances change (ie awarded other benefits) let them know as and when awarded.
    I enjoy flower arranging, kittens, devil worship, the study of serial killers and their methods and road kill jigsaws.

    All areas are now a full UC area and no new claims are possible for housing benefit.

    She's 50ish, and your father similar?


    I don't think that age is the factor in struggling to find work; what is he applying for?
