A lady who increased her hours from 6.25 to 13hours a week, wondered if she would still be able to get help with her council tax.
The Welfare Chanpion checked and saw her wage was still under the allowed weekly limit to claim benefit. She was advised to call into the council office with her payslips and inform them of her change of hours.
She did this and received a letter thanking her for updating the information they held, informing her that she is still entitled to full council tax benefit, so she was over the moon.
