    a quick check on google (which anyone can do) shows "A6 - Deciding and paying benefit" and seems to be a lot about housing benefit.

    Might you have to phone them to find out? It's no good them having codes and numbers if nobody else knows what they mean.

    The only A6 I can think of refers to stationery and envelope sizing. 

    Oh, another thought - they could have made a mistake. . .
