Hi,
I'm refering to your letter from 22/3, which I attach a scanned copy of.
I also attach a scanned copy of the first page, of the enclosure.
And that's because this isn't the claim I mean.
I worked for Randstand and Aravato, in the same job, from August 2005 to around December 2006.
I then worked with my employment-case, for some weeks.
And then reported un-employed at around 17/1/07, (I think your enclosure said).
Then I got a job, in March 2007.
A job I found on the Directgov-website.
Packaging Europe/Postive Publications in Norwich, wanted me to work as self-employed on behalf of them, doing research on the packaging-industry, in Norway.
I was happy with managing to get a new job, after the problems at Arvato, (which I won't write about in details here).
But after a while, I realised, that this job, was difficult to get by on.
I had to ask my landlord, to pay the rent later, all the time, and got arrears.
But I had only lived in the UK, since I started studying at the University of Sunderland, in September 2004.
So I wasn't that aware of income-support-arrangements, etc.
And I tried to get enough pay, to pay my bills, from the Packaging-job.
But when the Packaging Database-project, which I worked on, was finished, around November 2008.
Then I had a lot of arrears, to the landlord, council tax-arrears, and to the water-company and electricity-company.
Even if I hadn't wasted much money, while I had the packaging-job.
But this job was low paid.
I perhaps did the research for each company, to thorough, so I had to work longer, to get a decent pay.
Since I was paid, per company-file, that I did research for.
So I earned just around £400-500 a month perhaps, when I had the packaging-job.
(From March 2007 to November 2008).
So I think I probably was eligable, for Council Tax-benefit, from the time, when I worked, in this packaging-job.
That's what I'm wondering about, to try to be precise.
The Council have told me, a couple of years ago, that my claim, was 'out of date', (I think it was).
But when is it one have to claim Council Tax-benefit?
It isn't like I'm trying to claim this now.
I've tried a few years ago, to claim this benefit.
Around 2010 or 2011, I think it must have been.
I'm not talking about the time-periode, from January to March 2007, when I was un-employed.
But I'm talking about the time-periode, from March 2007 to November 2008, when I had a packaging-job, that I really got a lower pay, than the national minimun wage from, (since it was paid per company, and I usually do my work thorowly, and I also worked with the mentioned employment-case, against Arvato, a bit, while I had the packaging-job).
I hope I managed to make this a bit more clear now.
Thanks again for the letter!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I haven't filled out a form about this in 2007.
I complained later, after I finnished in this job, at the end of 2007.
After I got a bit more used with living in the UK.
I only moved here in 2004, (to study), and started working here in 2005.
So I waited a bit long before I applied for the Council Tax-benefit, (for the years I worked as self-employed, which was from March 2006 to November or December in 2007).
But I haven't filled out a form, (about this), in 2007.
It was more like I just wrote an e-mail about this, a couple of years later.
So this form you mention I'm a bit currious about.
Perhaps you could explain more about that?
Regards,
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hello,
Re your recent e-mail, the regulations for back-dating Council Tax, and collecting Council Tax are different, they are 2 separate entities.
I note that you did apply for rebate in 2007, and the back-dating rules are/were given on the form, but the back-dating rules have changed since then.
Once a Liability Order has been obtained we can continue to collect Council Tax for as long as we wish.
The LGO dept are correct it is extremely doubtful that the benefits office will back date rebate going back 5 or 6 years.
Am just a bit confused that you applied for rebate, and received rebate, so if you thought at the time that the rebate wasn't sufficient/correct why didn't you deal with that at the time.
If you are in receipt of JSA or ESA we can deduct direct from your Benefit, at £3.55 per week (£3.60 from April 2013) but if not we will have to have a suitable arrangement.
We await your proposals for payment.
Regards
B Ellis
