Or just put his upcoming winter fuel allowance to one side to cover it ....la531983 said:Going forward advise him to save a fiver a week in a pot to settle the tax bill that comes next year.0 -
One thing you could consider - is he registered sight restricted / blind - or could he possibly get registered?
People who are registered sight restricted/blind can get an extra Blind Allowance on the Income Tax levels - it ups it to around £15k I think.
Also he might be able to get Attendance Allowance - although I'm not sure if the sheltered housing aspect affects that - but there is at least one page on MSE about claiming this.1
