Try the BLF helpline...they have a benefits advisor.

03000 030 555.

Also you could try your local councillor for advice.

Sending best wishes to you.

Can't phone anyone yet council going to phone me back hmmmmmn when I wonder

[hypercat54]

Hi how awful. How about contacting Age UK or Help the Aged. They should be able to help you. There is also your local MP. Mine helped me out enormously a couple of times.

Or maybe the BLF helpline? x

I'm so stressed right now they too busy to take my call appantly the council have a few inquiries from other people I thought the new financial year was April! !!! Not September

Speak to Shelter, they are really helpful. I’ll find the number for you when I get home.

Do you have a social worker involved in your life?

[Hidden in reply to crashdoll]

Yes she arranged for a cleaner for me I've got such a headache right now why put us through all this unnecessary pressure 😠 thankyou to everyone for your replies

So sorry to read this. What a dreadful situation for you to deal with.

Hope you are able to contact some of the agencies mentioned above to sort this out.

Take care and best wishes

WHY do they make people who are ill jump through hoops to get what they are entitled to.

It saddened me to hear your story, but, people have given good advice, however, I would say to you DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH waiting for a phone call from the council, pick up pace and start the chase.

Wishing you well.

Tom.

[Hidden in reply to Ergendl]

Thankyou I need them 😢

[Oshgosh]

I would try the council,your mp.Alana,BLF anyone else you can think of.

[tomc]

I agree Oshgosh, Leave no stone unturned.

[Dedalus]

I understand your frustration, but in a lot of other countries you would get no help at all

[Hidden in reply to Dedalus]

I'd say I'm lucky to live here but at the moment I don't feel that lucky can anyone answer this if i have a carer live with me who is not counted then surely I'm entitled to the 25% council tax discount any thoughts in the carers UK link and my councils website it says I'm am but there saying no your not pay it back the last 4 yrs ?

[wheezyof]

Get advice from BLF, age uk or whoever you can. If you have been underpaying, through the other peoples mistake, then you can pay any arrears in very small amounts.

[Hidden in reply to wheezyof]

I did she agrees with me they have made a mistake I'm awaiting their reply to the link I sent them hun
