Who should be kicked out of this council house?

A question about : Who should be kicked out of this council house?

I feel this matter is quite serious and should be addressed to my local council business assurance/fraud team. I have reason to suspect my father hasn't declared an occupant living at this address.

Splitting the CAB board into sub-boards

A question about : Splitting the CAB board into sub-boards

Hi all

After a suggestion made last week we’re planning to split the CAB board into four sub-boards, one for each of the current areas CAB covers.

The current plan is to make the changes later this week and hopefully you’ll then be able to see more easily which topics are covered and which aren't, as well as helping the bureaux find questions more easily.

Bipolar, Homeless & getting no help

A question about : Bipolar, Homeless & getting no help

Hi,

As I never seem to be able to get hold of my local CAB I thought I would ask in here. Basically my situation is:

I had to leave university in January due to my Bipolar kicking in and causing me a lot of problems. I am currently unemployed and living on a friends sofa. I am expected to pay towards rent which I pay Ј275. I am on Incapacity Benefit, but this is not enough as once I pay rent and my bills I am left with no money (and this is before I try and buy food).

A question about : Council tax reclaim

In February I was approached, at home, by a man saying was I interested in lowering my CT band and reclaiming overpayments.
How does it go I asked.
