I have just had a quick trawl on the internet, but can find no information about the eligibility for help with the above. One thing I do not want to do right now is ring the Benefit folk. |

Lyndi, couldn't get very far on the above site. In the end, phoned the CAB. CAB man wanted to know the far end of everything. I just ewanted a plain and simple answer to my query. He made an appointment for us to go in plus all our details. Talked it over with OH, and we shall cancel the appointment, it will be another agency who knows all our business. |

If you go onto your own council site they usually have a calculator to see if you are eligible for HB and CT. |

That last link of Roys is the one I looked at, it gives 16K as the savings limit. |

I worked out that I could probably get a small rebate but would not be bothered to claim because of all the hassle and then you have to update them if you get any xtra income or cash. I know they need to know all income and outgoings but I wouldn't be happy with that for a small amount. |

Although you have already started the process, this is a good site to see what (if anything) you may be entitled to. |
