A question about : Help with Council Tax Support
Only people with capital less than Ј6000 will receive help. If one has a penny more, they will pay the full council tax. It will leave many in poverty and why has council changed this from April?
Best answers:
- How can you be in poverty if you have over Ј6000...
- Each council now is able to make their own rules, what is the case in one council does not mean it is the same all over
- Surely there must be a taper ?
- which council has said this and can we have a link?
- The "if one had a penny more" made me chuckle.
- If a person or couple have Ј6k then yes, they should absolutely pay their own council tax. Why on earth would someone expect otherwise?
- Well I'd like to be in poverty with Ј6000. You are aware that for those on NMW working full time this is a dream. Yet still pay full council tax.
- but spend that penny wisely because if council think you deliberately "lost" money to gain benefit you may not get it!
- I would love to have Ј6k in savings, hell I would settle for Ј1k in savings.
To say Ј6k isn't substantial is farfetched, yeah it's not a life changing amount as such, but you can buy a lot with Ј6k if your on the bones of your ar*e.
