Hi Getting out of debt

fyi and the above link, the benefits agency have changed the names of some of their benefits, so the first time you read the link it is very confusing as you think that you are not entitled to claim a discount.

I had to ask the bankruptcy clerk to seek clarification, she initially said no and then was told by a supervisor that we would be entitled.

regards Richard

Have a look at the following forms as they explain if you are entitled to a reduction on the BR fee:

If she is not claiming any means tested benefits, I do not think she will qualify for a lesser fee.

I wish you both well - have you sought any advice - CAB or CCCS?

Richard
