    Seems to me there are two different Housing benefit changes , one relating to occupancy being applied at April & second part applied to Universal credit limits after October. Either way these are not DDC discretionary issues.

    I will confirm tomorrow for you Gary.

    These are not Council Tax discount issues.

    The expert on the new schemes is Andrew Stevens at East Kent shared services who deal with Revenue & Benefits for 4 East Kent Districts. He is giving evidence to a House of Commons Select Committee on the practical implications of the changes.

    Try getting thru. to him Gary although you may have difficulty because he is in the thick of dealing with the process of the changes.

    Peter, these are Dept of Work & Pensions issues, I don't believe we have the discretions you identify. What we don't collect in effect becomes a burden on those who fulfil their obligations & increases their payments to meet debt liabilities.
