RE: HB deductions- who decides how much?
Tue 13-Jul-04 10:10 AM |
there are many threads in this case, but it seems like they are deducting from HB for rent arrears. The court order says £5.00pw towards the arrears, client's HB should be £53pw but she is getting £42pw. We asked for more info, but it's like throwing a stone in a deep, dark well. On top of it, client is being pursued for CT for the time when she lived abroad in early nineties. Anyway, these deductions- I know that I may not have the full story but can the amount of deductions- be it for o/payment or arrears- be decided willy nilly, even if the court settles the amount for £5.00?
