Is it worth trying to claim council tax benefit when we get £11 a week over the weekly net income allowance?

[ssd]

we get £11 a week too much to receive council tax benefit

has anyone claimed if they are slightly over anyway and been successful?

have just phoned council, we have too much to qualify

doesn't seem fair as we are also paying back tax credits at £40 per month but this isn't taken into the equation

see if your council has a benefit calculator, you might find you are entitled, once it knows your exact circumstances.

If you are finding to hard to repay you can write and request a smaller payment amount per month to the tax credit people
