Re: Council tax staff.
I thought that the DSS or whatever they call themselves now would have paid your rent not HBC. So you are saying that HBC pays rent to HBC for your home. I am confused

When you are on benefits, you apply to HBC for housing and council tax benefits. So in a sence they are paying themselves from one department to the other. |

Re: Council tax staff.
Do the Council not handle benefits for some other agency or does council tax benefit come out of HBC's coffers?

Re: Council tax staff.
Phone call made and questions asked.
Council Tax and Housing Benefits are handled by HBC but the actual money comes from the Government not HBC. So in effect HBC is paying HBC with Government money.

Re: Council tax staff.
So are we talking about two departments handling the same money here - with money coming from the government into one department and then out to another?

Re: Council tax staff.
ish yes I think ( see I agreed with you
 ). When housing benefit is being paid to a private landlord then it is different, soon all HBC will in effect be privately owned when Hyndburn Homes take over. I suppose HBC are acting as agents for the Government. I was discussing it with someone at the Ribble Valley but it must be the same.
