Publisher's Synopsis
The comprehensive guide to housing and council tax benefits for professionals has been fully revised and updated to incorporate all the changes over the past year, including the April 2008 uprating. New items include: the new Housing Benefit scheme for people on Local Housing Allowances, paying Housing Benefits to claimants rather than landlords, recovering Housing Benefit overpayments from landlords and claimants, changes to assessing war pensions and other income, and the pilot scheme for reducing Housing Benefits for antisocial behaviour.
